Our Haberdasher Vermouth contains over 20 herbs and flowers that we grow on our farm. We pick the herbs fresh and steep the wine in them like a tea for a period of days to months depending on the flavor profile and intensity desired. Each lot is kept separate until we complete our master blend. Dominated by notes of wormwood, hysop, mint and rose this vermouth is slightly sweet (54 g/L residual sugar) and has an alcohol of 18.5%.

Everything you Need to Know About Skin Fermented White Wine Have you heard of skin fermented white wine? If not, you’ve probably heard the terms orange, amber, romato or skin-contact wine. And guess what? ... All of these are the same - skin fermented white wines! There’s a lot of buzz and different terms being used for skin fermented whites, which can make them a bit intimidating. You may find yourself shying away from purchasing a bottle, ordering a glass on a menu or tasting at a winery. That’s why it’s easiest to just refer to these wines (orange, amber, romato) as skin fermented white wine, as this is essentially what they all are. https://traynorvineyard.com//everything-you-need-to-know-a

Our original sparkling wine. Pet-Nat or Petillant Naturel, finishes fermentation in the bottle creating carbonation. We changed our process a little this year to clarify the wine a little more than we have in the past. The two main varieties (Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc) co-fermented to completion, and we cold stabilized and settled. Once this was completed, we added a suss reserve of Vidal juice and immediately bottled. The resultant wine is deliciously fresh and a...romatic with tight bubbles and a bright, clean pallet. We are biased, but this may be our best pet-nat yet! https://traynorvineyard.com/products/pet-nat
