Where does this characteristic wine come from?
It all started more than 6,000 years ago, when grapes macerated in clay vessels. Today, it is common to dispose of the skins, stems, or seeds of the grapes for this process. However, for this ancient method, everything was macerated in the same container, so that the resulting wine was tinted with shades of amber.
Buying Spanish orange wine is a custom that, after years out of consumer options, returns to the shopping lists of those who want to try something different. Orange wines are nothing new, but for those wine lovers who have not yet had the pleasure of trying one, this resurgence has been their discovery.
The flavor, aroma and texture of the famous breezed wine
Its characteristic flavor is what will drive you to buy Spanish orange wine. This is characterized by its robustness, intensity and different aromas. Its aromas have a great complexity that marks the difference between this type of wine with white grapes and the traditional ones without aging. Thus, they are drier and even grassy in taste, but it is this, together with the lack of acidity, that makes wine lovers want to continue trying it.
Its so different flavor is collected in the maceration process, where it also collects its characteristic colors, aromas and even textures that you will not forget on the palate.
