Omerto, Pascal Miche, President
proudly introduces Omerto, a tomato wine prepared according to an old family recipe secretly coveted across four generations. On the five hectare countryside property in Baie-Saint-Paul, Charlevoix, production has soared from 20 or 30 bottles to over 50,000 per year.
The nectar’s name pays tribute to Omer Miche, Pascal’s great grandfather who lived in Belgium, and created his very first tomato wine in 1938. That year, Omer’s tomato crop was so exceptional that he decided to transform the fruit into wine. The Miche family prepared this recipe in their wine cellar and enjoyed it with friends on during special holidays.
Made in Québec. Sought after worldwide.
Upon Pascal Miche's arrival in Québec in 1998, he sought to make known his product. Ten years were necessary to fine tune the product that is now on the market.
Omerto is currently produced using a careful blend of tomatoes brimming with flavour. The varieties used are specifically adapted to Baie-Saint-Paul’s climate, which lends this grand cru its unique flavour.
Omerto is the very first tomato wine ever sold on global markets. Since August 2016, it can be found at la Société des Alcools du Québec (SAQ) or purchased online and delivered to your door.
It all began in 1938
Pascal Miche’s great grandfather, Omer, was considered an alchimist. He transformed everything he touched. His great grandmother was an excellent cook and herbalist who catered to nobility (princes and barons) in Europe during social gatherings. In 1938, the tomato crop was so prolific that Omer had the excellent idea of transforming it into an alcoholic beverage.
The first cuvée took 20 years to be developped. Although some of the first ones to taste the product grimaced, Omer continued refining his product through trial and error until he was satisfied.
Discovering Quebec tomatoes
Pascal Miche honoured his ancestors’ legacy by enhancing the recipe which was originally prepared with only one variety of tomato. He chose only rustic, sweet, early-summer varieties from Québec’s 16 heirloom varieties. Two products were soon created from 6 verietis of heirloom tomatoes: Omerto dry with a lovely strong, peppery flavour and then Omerto moelleux with its fruity, floral notes.
A fusion between alchemy and cuisine
Pascal Miche combined his great grandfather’s passion for alchemy with his great grandmother’s love of fine cuisine adding catering and charcuterie to the mix.
