Orange

Orange wine, also known as „skin-contact“ wine or „macerated“ wine, is a unique type of white wine produced using an ancient technique that originated in countries such as Georgia and Italy. Unlike conventional white wine production processes, where the skins are removed after pressing the grapes, in orange wine the skins remain in contact with the juice during fermentation. This extended skin contact gives the wine its distinctive orange colour, from which it derives its name.

Orange wine is characterised by a complex flavour profile that exhibits both the freshness and acidity of white wines as well as the tannic structure of red wines. Aromatically, it often offers a blend of honey, nuts, dried fruits and citrus notes, combined with an earthy, almost amber-like depth. Due to its pronounced structure and intense aroma, orange wine can complement a variety of dishes, from hearty fare to spicy and exotic cuisines.

Orange wine is often produced in small quantities by dedicated winemakers who employ traditional methods and sustainable practices. It is a unique addition to any wine cellar and a perfect treat for wine lovers seeking new taste experiences.
