Ticks: 4

This ultra rare style of craft beverage is called a Piquette Pyment and is made by rehydrating pressed grape skins with a traditional mead must, which is then pressed again and fermented. Calico Wings is made from Pinot Noir grape skins and Arizona wildflower honey which we fermented dry and bottle conditioned, meaning that we added a small dose of honey to each bottle, creating natural carbonation and an intended hazy pastel appearance. Serve as a chilled aperitif or a beautiful sundowner with friends.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Orangey red with very minimal white head. Lots of wild honey character and grape must with a touch of orange blossom.

500mL bottle, pours a clear dark ruby red with a small white head. Aroma brings out musty grape skins, earthiness, totally fermented out dry honey, and oak. Flavour is dry and musty, with a nice deep grape skin character, fermented out honey, and some oak. Vinous, musty, wild and tannic on the finish. This works well for me -- love that musty grape character.

Another piquet pyment which is a style I'm not too crazy about. Lots of grape notes, Moscato flavor, some berries.
