Field Recordings, Tang Piquette 2021 750ml

Personality: Clementines, jasmine tea, light fizz. 7.1% ABV

Vineyard: Martin Brothers (Organic), Cat Canyon (Organic), sustainable: Greengate, Rancho Real, North Fork, Morro View

Making of: After the production of orange wines for the SKINS blend (see above), a portion of the remaining pomace is rehydrated in open-top fermenters to create this piquette, 1-7 days depending on variety, before pressing the piquette off to stainless steel tanks and letting it ferment naturally. Depending on the levels of alcohol, a small percent of finished orange wine is added back into the piquette, in order to prevent spoilage. No additives including SO2.

Winemaker's Note: “Tang is the people’s wine — Piquette began as a way to meet the needs of the people during the 1800s wine blight in France. It’s super crushable, with a nice sparkle.”
