First things first: “orange wine” is not a type of wine made from a magical, orange grape. In short, orange wines are produced with white wine grapes but vinified as though they were red wines. This method results in skin-contact white wines, as the grapes are fermented in contact with their skins and yeast for anywhere from a few days to a few months. The result here is extremely fresh and delicious. Aromas of white floral and hints of jasmine are joined by fruity notes of peach, apple and tropical fruit on the palate. The finish is dry and vibrant. Try pairing with any type of hard cheese, or shrimp pesto!
