Orange / Skin-Contact Wine

Based on white grapes (Rkatsiteli, Ribolla Gialla, Pinot Grigio) fermented with skins for days or weeks.

Orange wine is white-wine grapes fermented with their skins, a millennia-old technique rediscovered by modern craft winemakers.

The result is amber, textural, sometimes a touch rustic, and endlessly interesting - a wine for adventurous palates.
