This is a question I’ve been asked a lot 🍊🍷
Orange wine is one of the most talked-about styles in the wine world right now, but also one of the most misunderstood. Some people think it’s made from oranges (spoiler: it’s not)…
This isn’t some trendy new invention – it’s an ancient Georgian technique that’s been around for 8,000 years. They call it “amber wine” and make it in massive clay vessels called qvevri buried underground.
What does it taste like? Imagine white wine with red wine texture. Think tea-like tannins, dried fruit, honey, sometimes funky farmhouse notes. It’s polarizing – you’ll either love it or hate it, but you definitely won’t ignore it!
So what actually is orange wine? Let’s break down what it really is and how it’s made…
The natural wine movement has brought orange wine roaring back, with producers from Italy’s Friuli to Slovenia to California creating mind-bending bottles that challenge everything you think you know about white wine.
