We can all agree we are ready for the arrival of spring in Prince Edward County. Bring on the sunshine, the warmer, longer days, budding vines and the hope of summer. Traynor timed the release of some playful, easy sipping, patio-worthy wines to get you in the mood for what's ahead.
The Big Eazy line was about playful, easy-sipping wines designed for the patio. The wines below are still in the cellar and still part of the rotation — the Big Eazy name has been retired but the spirit lives on.
The orange wine you've been looking for. A blend of Chardonnay and Riesling with skin contact. Marmalade Pie is delicate but with backbone — think sweet tangerine and a touch of bitterness on the finish. More approachable than some skin-contact wines, perfect for those new to the style.
A glou glou style of wine, which is hard to pinpoint and has its very own style. A blend of Vidal and Cabernet Franc, with the addition of Gamay Noir for depth. The Gamay started out in carbonic maceration, which resulted in really sweet, candy-like notes, and then pressed off early before blending. This wine is fun and easy and the team is very excited to enjoy it on the vineyard.
A Spanish winemaking style to make the perfect mix between a rosé and a red. The Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are co-fermented and resulted in a wine slightly closer to a rosé than a red. The addition of the Cabernet Franc adds depth and character, while keeping the wine memorable, light, and perfect to sip at your next BBQ or spring picnic.
The Traynor team is so proud of these wines and can't wait to be sipping and serving them on the patio. Who is visiting Prince Edward County this season?
