Orange and Skin-Contact Wine

Orange wine is having a moment right now, and we couldn't be happier! And while this might just seem like the latest trend in the wine world, the process of orange winemaking is actually an ancient practice.

These white wines have longer contact with the grape skins during fermentation and are often aged in amphora or cement vessels. This creates more texture, tannin, and bold and funky aromas that go with a large range of menus, we love it with fermented foods!

We think of it as a white wine made in a red or rosé style.
