In the words of Melissa Ross, “Piquette is basically White Claw for wine lovers: low ABV, high drinkability.” Piquette is made by adding water to grape pomace (the solids remaining after grapes are pressed) and fermenting it into a slightly sparkling beverage. Piquette dates to ancient Greek and Roman times. While the style is tied closely with France, nearly all winemaking countries have their own version of piquette, usually made and consumed by field workers and their families. 

The Texas High Plains AVA stretches from Amarillo in the north to the New Mexico border and extends just south of Lubbock. Vineyards are located on a high plateau throughout the state. Soils are sandy clay loams, and many vineyards are own-rooted because of the sandy soils. We feel this provides the best growing environment for grapegrowing in Texas, and source exclusively from the Texas High Plains AVA.
