A unique wine making process

Grape varieties that are characteristic of the region are used to make the orange wines. A prominent grape in the orange wine varieties is the Rkatsiteli. The Mtsvane and Kisi grape varieties are also often at the basis of orange wine. After which the grapes are pressed, they are immediately stored in the jars. No extra sulfites or seasonings are added to the wine and sometimes the wine can mature in the pitchers for up to six months. The wine filters itself and the fermentation also takes place naturally in the earthenware jug itself.

Tip: Orange wines that are made and stored in the earthenware jugs can be recognized by the orange amphora logo in our webshop.

Flavors and combinations

Orange wine often falls in color and taste under lighter wines such as white wine or rosé. Different grape varieties are used, all of which have an influence on the taste. In general, most orange wines are nice and fresh and contain notes of green fruit, nuts and various spices. Orange wine is a pleasant wine to drink with light dishes. Think of starters, salads, different types of fish or sushi, but also fruit or desserts. Most varieties contain light tannins but a fresh acidity. With this they deviate slightly from the white wines.
