Australia's Best Organic Orange Wine & Skin Contact Wine Collection
Perhaps you've spotted orange wine on a restaurant list or heard friends raving about its amber hues. So, what exactly is it? Orange wine — also called skin contact wine or amber wine — is made by fermenting white grapes on their skins and seeds, much like red wine. Extended skin contact (from days to months) creates that pale gold to deep amber-orange colour, a rich mouthfeel, and layered complexity that's unlike anything else in the glass.
Our collection brings together the world's finest organic orange wines and skin contact wines — sourced from passionate, low-intervention producers in Georgia, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Australia. Every bottle is chosen for its provenance, purity, and the story it tells. Read our full guide to orange wine here >

Common Questions About Orange & Skin Contact Wine
What does orange wine taste like? It varies hugely. Lighter skin contact wines offer stone fruit, citrus, and a hint of nuttiness. More intense versions deliver bruised apple, dried orange peel, sourdough, and tea — with a distinctive tannic texture.
Should I chill orange wine? Yes, but not as cold as a typical white. Serve at around 12–14°C to preserve its complex aromas and textures.
Is orange wine the same as natural wine? Not necessarily, but they often overlap. Orange wine is a style defined by skin contact; natural wine is a philosophy of minimal intervention. Many natural winemakers are passionate about skin contact winemaking — which is why our collection is full of organic, preservative-free examples.
