Orange wine, an original organic wine tracing back to the origins of the first wines

Also known as amber wine, orange wine is a distinctive type of wine worth exploring. Still relatively little known, it is considered the fourth colour of wine, after red, white and rosé.

As a lover of distinctive wines and the places they come from, Gérard Bertrand wants to bring this historic wine back into favour, notably with Orange Gold, an certified organic orange wine with lovely freshness, light tannins and subtle natural acidity.

What is orange wine?

Put simply, orange wine is a white wine made like a red wine. Like white wine, orange wine is made from white grapes.

What makes orange wine production distinctive is that the grape juice remains in contact with the skins, seeds and stems (the framework of the bunch) for a period of time. During this maceration, the tannins become concentrated and the characteristic amber-yellow colour of orange wine develops. Like other types of wine, orange wine can be produced using conventional, organic or biodynamic farming methods (What is organic wine? / What is biodynamic wine?).

The AB and Demeter labels make it easy to identify wines that are more environmentally friendly. These marks of quality are awarded following certification and inspection by independent bodies, and clearly identify wines that meet the standards of organic and biodynamic farming.
