The Lailey Orange 2021 pays homage to one of the oldest winemaking techniques in the world — the fermentation of white grapes on their skins, a process that gives orange wine its signature hue, texture, and complexity. Revived by the Lailey Wines team in Niagara-on-the-Lake, this approach blends ancient tradition with modern craftsmanship.
Made from low-yield, old-vine Vidal grapes grown on the Lailey estate vineyard, the wine reflects both the history and vitality of this heritage site — one of Niagara’s earliest and most respected vineyards. Fermenting the white Vidal grapes on their skins extracts natural colour, aroma, and structure, creating a wine that’s both bold and textural yet beautifully balanced.
The result is a vegan-friendly, single-vineyard natural wine that stands out for its authenticity and depth — a testament to Lailey’s continued innovation and respect for Niagara’s terroir. Serve slightly chilled and enjoy it as an exciting addition to any dinner or gathering.
