The process for making orange wine, which was made almost 6,000 years ago in Eastern Europe, is being revived. Surprisingly, winemakers do not add oranges to the wine at all. The wine naturally comes by its color rather than the latest beer styles. Fermented from white wine grapes, the orange wine comes from increased skin contact during the fermentation process... Makers treat the white grapes like red grapes, preserving the bolder body and tannins while also preserving the bolder body and tannins. As a result, the normally white wine will deepen to a brandy orange shade.
Despite the wine's obscurity, orange wine makes appearances at wine shows. From the United States to Australia, vineyards in Orange are on display in their orange efforts. Get in on the tasting and find a bottle to share!
