Piquette is made from grape pomace — the skins, seeds, and pulp left after pressing — rehydrated with water and allowed to ferment a second time. Wavy Wines' California Wine Cooler is built on the pomace from their LS GRIS skin-contact wine, an 80/20 blend of Pinot Gris and Chardonnay sourced from organic vineyards in California. After the free-run juice was drained from the tanks, the pomace was rehydrated with water, steeped for two days, then drained and gently pressed. Still-fermenting Chardonnay juice was added before bottling under crown cap, and fermentation finished in the bottle.
The result is lightly sparkling, tangy, and low in alcohol — closer to a sour beer or kombucha in weight than a conventional white wine. Bottled in January 2023, it spent time aging in stainless steel before release. No fining, no filtration, no added sulfites.
The name is a deliberate nod to the low-ABV, sessionable bottled coolers of the 1980s — the concept here is the same, the execution is natural. This is a zero-waste wine: pomace that would otherwise be composted is given a second life as a genuinely drinkable, effervescent product.
