★ Update
Baco Baco was a limited release. Our current Ophelia Piquette is Ophelia Original Piquette — same family, different fruit.
Welcome to Traynor Family Vineyard, where innovation meets tradition in the heart of Prince Edward County. We're thrilled to share the story of Baco Baco, our limited Piquette release crafted exclusively from Baco Noir skins.
A Crisp, Effervescent Journey
Baco Baco wasn't just another wine; it was a celebration of creativity and historical winemaking practices. With a modest alcohol content of 7.6%, it provided a lighter, sparkling alternative.
Tasting Notes
Dive into the vibrant world of Baco Baco and discover the rich aromas of cherry and leather, a signature of the Baco Noir grape. Its crisp, bubbly finish and deep purple hue promise a sensory feast.
Winemaker's Craft
As a pet-nat style Piquette, Baco Baco was a testament to our dedication to sustainable winemaking. Utilizing 100% Baco Noir skins and incorporating the unique character of our hard, saline well water, we crafted a Piquette that stood out in our lineup for its depth and distinctiveness.
A Nod to Tradition
The age-old tradition of Piquette production dates back to ancient Rome, originally crafted by farmers using leftover grape pomace. This sustainable practice not only maximizes the use of available resources but also produces a charmingly rustic beverage. By adhering to this method, we pay homage to the past while embracing the unique characteristics of our local terroir.
