Orange wine: Origin and winemaking
Its origin
The first orange wines were made 4,500 years ago in Georgia, where traditionally, grapes were not pressed before fermentation was started.
The creation
To make an orange wine, the grapes macerate with all their solid parts (the pips, the skin, the stem). The components of the skin and stem then release pigments and tannins, which give the wine its particularly distinctive colour, orange, with golden glints. The gentle bitterness that emerges from this whole-bunch maceration is characteristic of orange wines.
