Product Description:

Introduce yourself to the unique taste of our Orange wine, crafted from 80% Chardonnay and 20% Riesling grapes, fermented and aged at our winery in Prince Edward County. Our winemakers have been experimenting with skin-fermented whites since 2001 and 2021 vintage is a perfect blend of all their experimentation and feedback from our customers.

Winemaker's Note:

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 are able to create a wine that is less tannic and harsh, while still retaining the unique characteristics of a skin-fermented white.

At Traynor Family Vineyard, we are committed to crafting natural, vegan wines that are unique and delicious. This Orange wine is the result of years of experimentation and feedback, and we believe it is the perfect representation of our winemaking style.
