While its name might suggest a fruit-derived origin, it is, in fact, white wine grapes that give Orange wine its signature amber hue. This is achieved by allowing the grape skins to remain in contact with the juice for an extended period, akin to the process used for red wines. The result? A wine that boasts a complex array of flavors, combining the freshness of white wine with the structure often found in reds. Its history traces back thousands of years to regions in Georgia, but its resurgence in modern viticulture speaks to its timeless appeal. Notably, its robust flavor profile makes it an exceptional companion for a wide variety of dishes, broadening its allure among wine lovers and gourmets alike. read more... less

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Orange wine?

Orange wine is a fascinating category of wine that bridges the gap between red and white wines. Despite the name, it doesn't contain any oranges. Instead, the name is derived from the distinctive amber or orange hue it possesses. This color is the result of extended skin contact during fermentation; when white wine grapes are left to ferment with their skins, they extract pigments, tannins, and additional flavors, culminating in a richly colored and textured wine that's brimming with complexity. This process has roots in ancient winemaking traditions and is making a marked resurgence in contemporary viticulture.

Which wine regions make the best Orange wine?

Georgia is often credited as the birthplace of Orange wine, with its millennia-old qvevri winemaking technique. However, its popularity has spread globally, with Slovenia, Italy's Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and parts of Australia and California also producing commendable versions. Each region, with its unique terroir and grape varieties, contributes to the diverse flavor profiles and styles within the Orange wine category.

What are the most popular Orange wines?

Orange wines have seen a boom in popularity, especially among enthusiasts looking for something unconventional. Some sought-after labels originate from wineries like Radikon and Gravner in Italy, Pheasant's Tears in Georgia, and COS in Sicily. These wines, with their distinctive profiles, have paved the way for the growing appreciation of skin-contact wines worldwide.

What are the best value Orange wines?

While there are high-end Orange wines that come with a steeper price tag, many affordable options deliver exceptional value. Brands such as Kabaj from Slovenia, Channing Daughters in New York, and Aloi from Spain provide excellent introductions to the world of Orange wine without breaking the bank. These wines capture the essence of the skin-contact method, offering layered flavors at a reasonable cost.

What are the food best paired with Orange wines?

Due to the tannic structure and full-bodied nature of Orange wines, they offer a versatile pairing profile. They complement a wide range of dishes, from hearty meats to ethnic cuisines like Indian, Moroccan, and Middle Eastern fare. Their robust character stands up well to spicy dishes, fermented foods, and dishes rich in umami, like mushrooms and aged cheeses. Whether paired with a spicy curry, savory tagine, or a charcuterie board, Orange wine enhances and elevates the dining experience.
