Orange Wine
Orange Wine
Orange wine, also known as amber or skin contact wine, is a type of white wine made by fermenting white grapes with their skins, seeds and stems, similar to how red wines are made. The process has existed for thousands of years, specifically in Georgia. Its wines have a distinct orange amber color, added tannins and robust dried fruits, tea and savory notes.
