Orange wine is a thing now, and sure, pour us a glass

Sep 24, 2017

(Hellogiggles) - Do  you like wine? Yes? Us too. If you’ve looked at a wine list at any trendy restaurant recently, you’ve maybe noticed an entirely new category of vino: orange wine. Now, we’ve heard of red, white, rosé, and even blue wine. But orange?

If you’re like us, you’ve probably had the following thoughts: 1. What the heck is orange wine? 2. What does it taste like? and 3. What do I drink it with?

Now that we’re fully in the “orange” season, we decided to find out.

Essentially, orange wine is made from white grapes that have been fermented with their skins still on.

As a result, this production method gives orange wine a deeper hue. (BTW, ornage wine is also known as “skin-contact whites.”) Compare that to rosé, a wine made from red grapes that only receive a few days of skin contact. Hence, the wine appears pink. And just like rosé, orange wine is perfect Insta-bait.
