Located on the Black Sage in Oliver, Bartier Bros. make honest, classic wines of quality.
Piquette has historically been the winemaker and vineyard crew's wine. It's a simple wine made from a second pressing of grapes after the initial, intended wine. It has lower sugar and therefore alcohol (4.2%) and BB adds some carbonation to their version to keep it interesting and refreshing. It's also a way for a winery to bring in extra income from what would otherwise be deemed leftovers; crucial in times like these.
As I mention above this is a simple wine, no need to get into fancy talk about it. On both the rose and the white (both come in cans) the nose is more distinguished than the palate.
It's a pale salmony-orange shade with notes of peach skin and melon rind, wild berries, tangerine and wildflowers. Very light-bodied and spritzy with just a hint of orange pekoe tea flavour.
