More and more users are looking for orange wine online.

Wine lovers are increasingly interested in buying orange wine online, since good wines are difficult to find in supermarkets, regular stores or even specialized wine bars. This type of wine is gradually gaining a foothold in the Spanish palate and, due to restrictions and the difficulty of finding the best brands, more and more buyers are choosing to use online stores to find the best bottles from the comfort of their homes.

At BlancoTinto we specialize in finding little jewels in small wineries and bringing you new flavors with which to accompany your meals and your special moments. This is where our interest in orange wine comes from. Orange wine is a very old traditional wine, but one that has remained hidden from the interested gaze of the public for many centuries. It has the secret of its color for more than six thousand years, although it seems like the greatest novelty within the culture of wine.

However, if you know a little about Spanish wine culture, you will know that before this new boom, there were already other orange wines. That is why when buying orange wine online, if you are looking for Spanish wineries, it is important to read about the winery and the types of products they produce. In the lands of Huelva and Malaga there are some very special orange wines that are produced with real oranges, but they are sweet wines macerated with citrus. These do not follow the same process as the orange wine that has become so fashionable. And that is why many people have kept the name in English, orange wine, to separate them from those we already knew.

Be careful when you buy orange wine, not all are the same.

In the maceration of the orange wine from Condado de Huelva, made from white grapes, the use of bitter orange peels is introduced. These shells have been dried and crushed in the sun and leave a dark and orange tone to the final result. In fact, in some cases the wine may even appear brown in color, depending on the technique used in the process. In the case of the brown tone, it is due to the drying of the grapes in the sun before carrying out the fermentation process.

In the case of Malaga, its wines are not known as orange wines, but as muscatel. It is a sweet wine, which also follows a process with bitter orange peels. In this case, the dried shells are crushed in wine alcohol. It is a process that lasts around 60 days and gives rise to the well-known muscatel wine. However, although the resulting color is more orange than gold, muscatel is considered a white wine (and that is why you can find it both in our white wine section and in our orange or brisado wine section).

However, orange wine, orange wine, breezed wines or skin maceration wines, is another type of wine. In this case, the process has nothing to do with the oranges, but with the skins of the white grape itself. Exactly like red wine, which gets its recognizable burgundy hue from the skins of the red and black grapes from which the must is produced.

That is why many people explain orange wine as a white wine produced as a red wine. In fact, it has been known that way for a long time, as we remember that it is not a new wine. It comes from the winemaking tradition of the Caucasus area, where wine was kept and produced in huge clay vessels called qvevri. Although the wines from this area are not widely known, several wineries in northern Italy have adopted this same production technique and thanks to these producers, orange wines have become fashionable wines.

The advantage of this new, but not so new, orange wine is precisely its process. This simple process is what has brought it to light, thanks to the new current followed by wine lovers of natural wines. Natural wines are those that follow processes with the minimum amount of interventions, or subsequent additions.

Although not all orange wines fall into organic wines, you have a good chance of finding orange wine among the most requested recommendations by those interested in wines without additives. And in the new wave of buying online that has been suffered in 2020 and maintained in 2021, buying orange wine online is easy if you know the right store.

In the case of orange wine, its processes with little intervention not only give it some interesting orange or amber tones. They also give it a denser flavor and a more opaque body. This is because excessive filtering is not done before bottling.
