Approachable, layered, with the gentle tannin that defines our skin-contact style.

★ About this wine ★
Skin-fermented white from our 2023 vintage — a blend of Chardonnay and Riesling co-fermented after 5 days on the skins. The next step in 25 years of orange-wine experimentation at Traynor.

★ Winemaker's note

The story behind this bottle

Our goal for this orange wine is to make it more approachable and fun. By destemming the grapes, cold-soaking, pressing slightly before fermentation is completed, racking the wine off the seeds and skins, and bottling it as quickly as possible, we create a wine that is less tannic and harsh while still retaining the unique characteristics of a skin-fermented white.

Frequently Asked Questions.

How should I serve Marmalade Pie?

Chilled, 8–10°C. Use a larger universal wine glass so the aromatics can open. Skin-fermented whites benefit from a few minutes of air after pouring.

What food pairs well with Marmalade Pie?

Whitefish, grilled zucchini or green onions, creamy cheese on toast, Eastern European cuisine (smoked fish and meats, pickled vegetables). The slight tannin and aromatic complexity handles bolder flavours than a regular white.

What is orange wine? Is Marmalade Pie vegan?

Orange wine is white grapes fermented on their skins (like a red wine) — that's where the amber colour and structure come from. Ours is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Riesling, macerated on skins for 5 days then pressed. 10.5% ABV. Vegan. VQA Niagara Peninsula, 2023 vintage.

How long will Marmalade Pie keep after opening?

Screw cap — re-cap tight and refrigerate. 3–5 days. The natural tannin structure helps it hold up.

Where can I buy Marmalade Pie?
