Upcycled wine grapes
Naturally fermented in filtered water in a few different batches. No sugar added. Just juicy quality pressed grapes that would otherwise go to waste.
Victoria made
The grape pressings are sourced from select vineyards in the Grampians, Yarra Valley, and Mornington Peninsula. They're composed of a gently fresh-pressed blend of white and red grape varieties—a combination that builds natural flavour, acidity, and Pique's unique colour.
Super drinkable
After blending, very little sulphur is added for protection. Then, it’s filtered and carbonated, equivalent to a mid-strength beer for a moderate buzz, and that tastes like a light, bubbly rosé.

Pique is made by me, Manon Houg. I bring more than ten years in the wine industry from my native France to New Zealand and now Australia.
My grandparents often talked about the piquettes they made because they believed nothing should go to waste. That’s something that rings true for me today more than ever. I’m deeply concerned about the environment and our impact, and I’m proud to create a beverage that’s honest, ethical and sustainable.
In the old days, piquettes were homemade and sometimes a little “too” rustic. Today, our understanding of fermentation has evolved, and our winemakers are more creative. It’s great to see this beverage enjoying a comeback for a generation seeking simple joys.
My thanks to the winemakers from Chateauneuf-du-Pape to the Grampians who have guided me on this journey. Here's to many more seasons!
Pét-nat but sessionable ? This is a piquette.
It's light, spritzy and very refreshing. Only 1 standard drink in a can make it perfect for your next BBQ, picnic, beach trip, nature adventure, or music festival fun times!
Enjoy extra cold, straight from the can or pour it over ice for instant refreshment.
Don’t be fooled by the scent of fresh berries or their sexy red-pink colour—this is no sweet beverage. Subtle vinous flavours and layers of spice and sour make it easy and fun to drink! Enjoy straight from the can or pour it over ice in a large whisky-like glass for instant refreshment.

They didn’t—but it sure tastes like they did. And that description feels even more fitting, as this special batch was crafted exclusively for The Fermentary.
This limited-edition release is more than a drink—it’s a story of discovery, tradition, and flavour.
