“Orange Wine” is simply a white wine that is fermented on the skins. The time the juice spends on the skins can be as little as a few days to as much as a year-long extended maceration. This time on the skins extracts color and has some oxidizing effects giving the wine an orangish hue. But more importantly it extracts phenololics and flavors from the skins and seeds, giving the resulting wine much more structure and intensity than a traditional white wine. The wines are often made in a non-interventionist manner and aged underground in clay vessels. But there are a lot of ways to make orange wine and you should never let the natural wine hipsters tell you that you’re doing it wrong.
