Pressed Viognier skins and stems were loaded into a bin and topped up with water and a small addition of fermented verjus for acidity. Fermented for 6 days on skins with punch downs before liquid was pumped out. This Piquette was not pressed - keeping it lighter than the others. Blended with fermented apple cider, star anise, cloves and cinnamon. Bottled with a small addition of juice to create carbonation.
Cloves and cinnamon dominate the nose with light apple notes coming through. A very delicate palate with a touch of bubbles.
