Tasting notes

This is a zero-waste wine that punches above its category: the three-variety pomace gives it more aromatic complexity than a single-grape piquette, with citrus peel and stone fruit notes lifted by the natural fizz. At 8.7% ABV and only 80 cases made, it is exactly the kind of low-intervention, sessionable bottle that belongs in a refrigerator at all times.

See here our shipping policy.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Producer profile

Swick Wines

Joe Swick is a 5th generation Oregonian, born and raised in Portland. He got his start in wine in 2001 working at a specialty food store in Portland, then worked his first harvest as a cellar assistant at Owen Roe Winery in 2003. Over the following decade, he completed more than 15 harvests across Portugal, Italy, New Zealand, Tasmania, California's Russian River Valley, and France, including time with Simon Busser in Cahors and Julien Labet in Jura. It was during his time in France that he first encountered natural wine. He returned to Oregon in 2013 to start Swick Wines.

Swick sources grapes exclusively from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards in the colder regions of Oregon and Washington State, including the Willamette Valley, the Columbia Gorge, and the Columbia Valley around Yakima. He deliberately focuses on higher elevation sites where grapes ripen later, retain higher acidity, and yield lower natural sugar levels.

The winemaking approach at Swick is hands-off by design. Fermentations are spontaneous with native yeast only, with no temperature control. No conventional additives are used. Sulfur is added only in very small amounts on select wines when absolutely necessary for bottle stability, and many releases contain none at all. Swick works across a wide range of styles: skin-contact whites, pet-nats, light reds, and piquettes. The Piquette 1.0 is made from the second pressing of pomace remaining after City Pop, Swick's Verdelho, Sauvignon Blanc, and Semillon skin-contact white. The rehydrated pomace is pressed again, bottled at near-zero Brix, and fermentation finishes in the bottle.

Wine region

Columbia Valley, USA

The Columbia Valley AVA sits in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains across eastern Washington and a small portion of northeastern Oregon. With annual rainfall as low as 6 to 12 inches, the region relies on irrigation drawn from the Columbia, Snake, and Yakima river systems. The growing season is long and dry, with diurnal temperature swings of 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit between day and night, which preserves acidity and aromatic complexity even as fruit ripens fully under 16 to 17 hours of summer daylight. The AVA sits at 45 to 47 degrees north latitude, roughly parallel to Burgundy and Bordeaux, but with a fundamentally continental rather than maritime climate.

Columbia Valley is Washington's largest and most encompassing wine appellation, containing approximately 99% of the state's vinifera acreage across more than 11 million acres. Its soils are a direct legacy of the Missoula Floods, a series of cataclysmic glacial events that deposited layers of loess, gravel, sand, and silt over a basalt bedrock. Eighteen sub-AVAs fall within its boundaries, including Yakima Valley, Red Mountain, Horse Heaven Hills, Walla Walla Valley, and Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley. The grapes for Swick's Piquette 1.0 are grown on sandy loam soils at around 1,600 feet elevation within the Columbia Valley, a site that favors freshness and natural acidity in white varieties.
