Take a deep dive into the fascinating and varied world of orange wine – white wines fermented with their skins, like a red wine. This session is for wine lovers and professionals alike who want to get geeky about how skin-fermented white wines are made, how they can show heightened terroir & varietal characteristics, and how they vary from region to region and from vintage to vintage.
We will go into technical aspects and in-depth discussions about each wine and its production methods, as well as explaining the fascinating backstory to these wines – and how they are rooted in ancient traditions and cultures.
