Orange wine: everything you need to know about this fascinating wine!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Orange wine is neither a flavored white wine, nor a sparkling wine, nor an \u201corange wine.\u201d
It is actually a white wine vinified like a red wine.<\/p>

In other words: the skins of white grapes are left to macerate with the juice for several days, weeks, or longer, which naturally brings out<\/p>

  • color,<\/p><\/li>

  • of the structure,<\/p><\/li>

  • more intense aromas,<\/p><\/li>

  • and sometimes a slight tannic grain.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    This ancient practice, which originated in Georgia over 5,000 years ago, is now becoming the norm for winemakers who want deeper, more textured, and livelier wines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    How is orange wine made?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The magic of orange wine lies in skin maceration.
    Instead of pressing white grapes immediately after harvesting, they are left to infuse in their own juice. The skins, rich in aromas and polyphenols, gradually release color, intensity, and character. <\/p>

    This is what gives white wine a much more assertive personality.
    A wine that lies somewhere between the freshness of a white and the structure of a red.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    For our Petit Sauvage orange wine, we chose Souvignier Gris, a naturally disease-resistant grape variety that is perfectly suited to our vision of more sustainable and respectful agriculture.<\/p>

    Here’s what makes Petit Sauvage unique:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    A resistant & organic grape variety<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Souvignier Gris is a robust variety that reduces the need for treatments and preserves biodiversity. Its aromatic profile is perfectly suited to maceration: full-bodied, precise, and slightly spicy. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Gentle, natural maceration<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The wine then develops a delicate nose of citrus fruits, white flowers, and slightly spicy notes, accompanied by a full-bodied, structured, and indulgent palate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Why is orange wine so popular today?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Orange wine is not a fad: it is a return to basics, to traditional practices where the grape expresses itself fully.
    Here’s why it is so appealing:<\/p>

    • It offers a new range of aromas, different from classic whites.<\/p><\/li>

    • It offers more texture, which makes it very interesting at the table.<\/p><\/li>

    • It often reflects a more natural winemaking philosophy.<\/p><\/li>

    • He surprises, he questions, he leaves a lasting impression.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      It’s a wine that tells a story, and wine lovers adore that.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t

      What do you eat with orange wine?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      One of the great things about orange wine is that it is extremely versatile.<\/p>

      Petit Sauvage also goes well with:<\/p>

      • spicy cuisine (tajines, curry, dhal),<\/p><\/li>

      • vegetarian dishes,<\/p><\/li>

      • soft cheeses,<\/p><\/li>

      • tapas,<\/p><\/li>

      • fish in sauce,<\/p><\/li>

      • or even richer dishes thanks to its structure.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

        This is a wine that loves boldness, and pairs equally well with a casual meal or a more creative table.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
