In the making - the roots of each season

From one season to another, I've had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with diverse winemakers and vineyards, crafting small-batch piquettes using different varieties of grape pressings. Ultimately, this is the root of what sets apart each season. After all, this is a distant cousin of wine, for which, season after season, vintage after vintage, a parcel of vine alone will bring forth a unique character and flavour profile.

With this in mind and a little excitement about working with different winemakers and doing extravagant blends (up to eight varieties), "seasons" became part of the brand name, embracing the ever-changing nature of Pique. Like a book or TV series, I chose to number the season releases, allowing Pique to tell an evolving story that celebrates the beauty of seasonality and the personalities involved that make the delightful differences between each release.

From the refreshing and zesty notes of season 1 to the captivating layers of savoury complexity in season 2, or more recently, The Fermentary’s batch with cherry and earthy notes, Pique piquettes match different occasions. As you embark on your own Pique adventure, enjoy each sip of a beverage embracing upcycled and circular economy principles, and celebrate the natural differences in each batch.

Santé!
