Orange wine, an essential at your table
Buying orange wine is what you need if you are looking for a fresh wine with character, but mainly dry. This variety of wine is ideal to accompany your fish dishes, white meats, or give an original touch to your appetizers. Orange wine has been a great unknown to many people until recently, so many are surprised by its unique flavor that leaves no one indifferent.
We can consider orange wine, or breeze, as the union between red and white wine. The reason? It is an originally white wine to which the process of making red wine is applied, leaving it to macerate on its skin during fermentation. In this way it acquires the orange tone, almost located in the center of both varieties. Does this sound fascinating? The curious thing is that it is a technique that has been carried out for thousands of years, but it is only in recent years that it has been gaining popularity.
