Orange wines

Oranges wines and macerations

Maceration wines, also called "orange" wines, are wines made from white grapes, vinified with a more or less long maceration on the skins, in berries or in whole bunches, which can go from a few hours to several months. Originally associated with Georgia, the cradle of wine, and often vinified in amphorae, there called Kvevri, terracotta or sandstone, the maceration wines have gradually spread throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Today, there are many producers in Italy, Spain and even in France or Austria who are fond of this method of vinification which makes the wines more aromatic, more tannic and more complex.
