Its origin
The first orange wines were made 4,500 years ago in Georgia, where traditionally the grapes were not pressed before starting fermentation.
The creation
To make an orange wine, the grapes macerate with all their solid parts (the seeds, the skin, the stalk). The components of the skin and the stalk then release pigments and tannins, which give the wine this very particular color, orange, with flashes of gold. The gentle bitterness that emerges from this maceration in whole bunches is characteristic of orange wines.
