Perhaps you’ve spotted orange wine on a cellar door list or heard friends raving about its amber hues. So, what exactly is orange wine? It’s not made from oranges—instead, white grapes are fermented on their skins and seeds, much like red wine. Extended skin contact (from days to months) imparts that pale gold to deep amber-orange colour, plus a rich mouthfeel and layered complexity. This collection is your perfect introduction to the world of organic orange wine. You can read more on our blog here >

Common Questions
-
What does orange wine taste like? It varies hugely! Lighter examples can taste like stone fruit and citrus with a hint of nuttiness. More intense versions can have notes of bruised apple, dried orange peel, sourdough, and tea, with a noticeable tannic texture.
-
Should I chill orange wine? Yes, but not as cold as a typical white wine. We recommend serving it with a light chill, around 12-14°C. Serving it too cold can mute 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 focused on minimal intervention. Many natural winemakers love making orange wine, which is why our collection is full of organic, minimal-intervention examples.
