Orange wine is made from white grapes, but leaving the grape juice with the contact of skins and often even stems and seeds during the fermentation process. This technique results in a unique wine style that we nowadays call orange wine or how it is called in Georgia – amber wine. I have gathered some of the best orange wines, in my opinion, from highly regarded producers. One of them is from the homeland itself – Georgia, while the rest are from other countries. Let’s see how they stand up against each other.

Ohh i have som saperavi stored.
Also had some orange wine, i really enjoyed it.
Even older white wines ones from 2014 are still good.
hello Agnes, your content is always excellent, I always look forward to your videos, a question that you think of the wines that are called "vinos en rama" are those that have no chemical physical treatments that can alter or attenuate the color, aromas or flavor Of the wine". In other words, you experience the closest thing to tasting in person in the winery, extracting it directly from the barrel or from the vat, without subjecting it to the usual clarification and stabilization processes prior to bottling.
Love you Agnes ❤❤❤❤
From Georgia 🇬🇪
I've seen Amphora in so many videos. I've been tempted to find out where to get one to make wine in (or make one) for science.
yes! lets go! skin contact wines! and Rkatsiteli stealing the show never the less 😅excellent video as usual. thank you 😊
Excellent video , tasting wine styles you'r not usually spending time on. France? So'2? Alive Cooper still relevant . When I first saw him on stage he was killing live chickens as performance art. Cheers
I have a bottle of Sybille Kuntz Estate Mosel Organic Orange Riesling Trocken 2020. I can’t drink it because it taste like apple juice in a bad way. I also like your score method. I do the same ten point scale.
This was my favorite episode for non-wine reasons 😂 🐕. Obi Wan is adorable
Orange wine is like the wine world's best kept secret. It's time to let it out!
Fantastic informative video Agnese!
How I love these fresh and lively tastings
Love the alice cooper shirt and the jason mask in the background
I might like to try the Wachau Amphora Riesling; I've had one Riesling from Macgregor Vineyards on Keuka Lake that had mild tannins from a pre fermentation soak of 1 day or so. Once I got used to it, it was decent.
Interesting, I always thought Pinot grigio grapes were white or light green, learned one more today!
Blind tasting orange wines? Very difficult.
You’re a champ to do this so successfully
In Georgia, they call it "Amber Wine". They don't like the term "Orange wine", because it's not actually orange in color, and it is confusing to consumers who sometimes think it's made with oranges.
And as someone who works in the wine retail industry, I'd have to agree with the Georgians. I hate the term "orange wine", because 1) it confuses people who are new to wine, and 2) as someone who previously worked as a graphic designer for over 20 years, and pretty much dreams in Pantone, I have NEVER seen an "orange wine" that is anywhere near "orange" in color….
Excellent presentation, thank you so much Agnes !
Love to see orange wines! What grape(s) were used for the one from Sicily? I also love how Pinot Grigio orange wines can make such a beautiful dark pink color!
Das heftige schwenken des Weinglases macht mich schwindelig.
The violent swirling of the wine glass makes me dizzy.
A winemaker from Friuli (Friaul, Italy), who produces orange wine, explained in a documentary that you should never swirl the glass so much.
