It is one of the most ancient ways of making wine, and probably the most trendy one at the moment: Orange Wine – where the grape skins stay in contact with the wine, giving it the typical note of tannins.

Discover Orange Wine at Kipferl

Orange wine, often regarded as the fourth wine color alongside red, white, and rosé, offers a distinct taste and experience. Made from white wine grapes that are left to macerate with their skins for a period of time, this process imparts orange wines with their characteristic deep and complex flavors. Orange wines combine the texture and tannins of red wine with the freshness and acidity of white, making it a favorite among adventurous wine enthusiasts.

What Makes Orange Wine So Special?

Orange wine stands out for its unique production method which involves extended skin contact, traditionally without added yeast or sulfites. This natural approach to winemaking not only enhances the wine’s flavour complexity but also contributes to its robust body and unusual color. The result is a wine rich in both history and taste, aligning perfectly with current trends towards natural and biodynamic wines. Its versatility in pairing with a wide range of cuisines adds to its growing popularity.
