Orange Wine
Variety: Viognier 75%, Keratsuda 25%
Current Vintage: 2022
Alcohol: 12%
Vinification:
Fermentation with the skins for two weeks, followed by resting on the fine lees for four weeks.
Characteristics:
Orange wine is made from white grapes using a special technique. The key lies in the skins of the white grapes. While white wines are usually made by separating the skins from the juice, which then ferments alone, orange wines are created by allowing the skins to macerate and ferment together with the juice. From the skins come the deeper color (yellow, ochre, orange), the distinctive flavors and aromas, and the tannins that give orange wine its signature taste. In a way, it is white wine made by the technique of red wine.
