🍇🧡Orange w**e, also known as “skin-contact white w**e,” “skin-fermented white w**e,” or “amber w**e,” is a type of w**e made from white w**e grapes where the grape skins are not removed, as in typical white w**e production, and stay in contact with the juice for days or even months.
It's easy to dismiss orange w**e as a fad, but these w**es find their roots in ancient techniques. The origins of orange w**e date back thousands of years to regions in current-day Georgia. In this area, w**es were fermented inside qvevri, or large clay anfora (or urns) used for aging w**es.
Skin-fermented white w**es were common in Italy up until the 1950s and 1960s, but fell out of fashion as technically 'correct' and fresh white w**es came to dominate the market.
Nowadays, they are not the most favorable in society, but definitely underestimated for value, quality, and education. Educate a bottle nearest you… you’ll be surprised… every time.
Cheers!
