Piquette is one of the oldest recycling traditions in winemaking: grape pomace — the skins, seeds, and stems left after pressing — is rehydrated with water to re-extract sugar, flavor, and texture. The result is a wine that is lighter in body and lower in alcohol than what came from the original press, but still carries real character. Subject to Change's Tasty Waves is built from certified organic Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc pomace sourced from a hand-farmed site outside Hopland in Mendocino County.
After rehydration, the pomace lots were macerated and pressed off, then blended together in stainless steel. A portion of rosé (approximately 40%) was added back to the blend, followed by a small addition of local organic honey at bottling to restart fermentation in the bottle under crown cap. That in-bottle refermentation gives the wine its lively, persistent effervescence. No fining, no filtration, no added sulfur — zero-zero from start to finish. Production was limited to 230 cases.
The wine comes in at 10% ABV and drinks like a very low-key, fizzy red — tart dark fruit, snappy acidity, and a slight earthy minerality underneath. Because it is still actively fermenting in the bottle, it should be kept cold and upright, and opened with real caution over a sink or bowl.
