Miha Piquette is a collaborative project between Dan Marioni of Marioni Wines and Jack Sporer of Fres.co (Fresh Wine Co.), both Sonoma natives making wine together at Magnolia Wine Services, a collective custom crush facility in Sonoma. This is a piquette: a traditional low-alcohol beverage made by adding water to spent grape pomace. Here, that means the second pressing of organically and regeneratively farmed Gewurztraminer skins and pumice, with spring water and organic lemon juice added for acidity. It is then conditioned with fresh Gewurztraminer juice to trigger refermentation in the bottle, resulting in a sparkling, lively wine at 7% ABV.
The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with zero added sulfur dioxide, a zero-zero production by any measure. Gewurztraminer's highly aromatic pink-skinned grape contributes its characteristic lychee, rose petal, and ginger profile even at this second-pressing stage, while the organic lemon juice addition keeps the wine bright and structured despite its low alcohol. The result is dry, gently fizzy, and more alive on the palate than its modest ABV suggests.
Piquette has roots going back to 18th-century France, where it was traditionally consumed by vineyard laborers as a low-cost, low-alcohol shift drink. The natural wine world has revived the format as a way to extract a second product from the grape pomace without waste. Dan and Jack's version fits squarely in that tradition while reflecting the Sonoma Valley regenerative farming ethos that both producers share.
