What is Orange Wine?

Orange wine isn’t made from oranges—it’s a white wine made using red wine techniques. Instead of pressing the juice off the grape skins straight away, the grapes are left in contact with their skins for days, weeks, or even months during fermentation. This skin contact gives the wine its signature amber or orange hue, along with added texture, tannin, and complex flavours.

The Influence of Riesling, Gewürztraminer & Muscat

Your blend brings together three aromatic varieties, each adding its own magic to the wine:

• Riesling contributes bright acidity, citrus notes, and minerality, giving the wine a crisp backbone.
• Gewürztraminer adds exotic spice, floral intensity, and a lush mouthfeel, making the wine more textural and expressive.
• Muscat enhances the aromatic lift, bringing notes of orange blossom, musk, and stone fruit, amplifying the wine’s perfumed complexity.

Together, these varieties create a highly aromatic, richly textured, and intensely flavoured orange wine with layers of spice, florals, and bright acidity. The extended skin contact boosts structure and tannin, making it a bold yet beautifully balanced expression.
