Orange Wine

July 31, 2020


There is a lot of recent interest in Orange wines and yet there is still a lot of myth around this style. The term Orange wines was first coined in 2004 and describes wines made from white grapes that have been fermented with their skins as if they were red wines, although wine made by this technique has been from B.C.6000 in Georgia and Central Europe (Slovenia, Croatia and Northern Italy) regions, and they still make some exceptional wines.

We will have variety of Orange wines this time, with styles range from elegant and complex to full-bodied and tannic. There might be some odd ball as usual.

The degree of colour depends on the grape variety, nature of the vintage, length of maceration and quality of extraction. Let's discover the joy of Orange Wine together.
