What Is Orange Wine?

13 Apr 2024

Imagine orange wine as the cool rebel of the wine world! 🍊 It's like regular white wine's wild cousin who decides to break all the rules and make a statement.  So, here's the scoop: Orange wine isn't made from oranges (bummer, right?). Instead, it's made from white wine grapes, but with a twist! Instead of separating the grape juice from the skins right away like in regular white wine, orange wine decides to hang out with its skins during fermentation, soaking up all those juicy flavors and funky colors. That's why it ends up with this awesome orange or amber hue, hence the name!  hink of it as the love child of white and red wine. It's got the crispness of white wine but also the depth and complexity of red. And let me tell you, it's bursting with personality! You might taste hints of dried fruits, nuts, and a touch of funkiness that'll make your taste buds dance.  So next time you're feeling adventurous, give orange wine a whirl! It's like a party in a bottle, and who doesn't love a good party? 🎉

Wine Quote this month!

"Wine is a living liquid containing no preservatives. Its life cycle comprises youth, maturity, old age, and death. When not treated with reasonable respect it will sicken and die. A wise man will drink wine in moderation, respecting its existence. Then wine will be good to the taste, the spirit will be uplifted, and cheerfulness will prevail." - Louis Pasteur
