What is orange wine?
Orange wine is the fusion between white wine grapes with the fermentation method of red wine. On everyone’s lips, this amber-colored wine is usually characterized by its freshness and strong character and, although with sweet aromas, it is a dry wine. For this reason it is a very versatile wine and is perfect to accompany meat and fish.
However, it is possible that you already know orange wine and what you need is to compare different productions to see which one to put on your table. In that case, let us show you which orange or brisado wines we can offer you according to the grape with which they are made. Since the grape with which a wine is produced provides us with a lot of important information to understand it. There are even countries that give more importance to the grape than to the origin of its production.
Grapes with which breeze or orange wine is made
Albariño: Galician wine grape par excellence, which stands out for having a fruity and floral aroma.
Chardonnay: Coming from eastern France, its ease of cultivation has made it easily expand throughout the world. Its versatility makes it perfect to make on its own and in a mix, providing a citrus and fruity touch that is sweet, moderately acid and somewhat unctuous. The Sander winery offers us a mixture with Pinot Blanc in the last units.
White Garnacha: Typical of northern Spain, it is usually mixed with other grapes due to its high alcohol content and low acidity. They provide freshness and persistent sweetness.
Hondarrabi Zuri: This Basque grape produces fresh and aromatic wines with a subtle floral and fruity touch, well balanced.
Listán blanco: The grape of the Canary Islands par excellence. Its wines are soft and aromatic with a touch of bitterness, mixed with a high mineralization. The winery and producer Llanos Negros makes exclusive productions with this grape. Are you going to miss them?
Malvasia: Originally from the Mediterranean, it produces a fragrant wine loaded with fresh flavor.
Moscatel: With two hundred varieties, in our store you will find wines made with the Alejandría and Romano varieties. In this way, dry wines have great aromatic power and natural sweetness.
Picapoll Blanc: Main from Catalonia and the south of France, it contains a high degree of acid at first contact. Since it does not produce a large amount of must, it is common to use it as a blend to provide acidity and aromatic depth of fruit and flower, as well as lightness. From the Priorat region, Mas Martinet Viticultors offers us various productions.
Pinot grigio: This northern Italian grape has a low aromatic intensity that is offset by the complexity of its varied aroma. On the other hand, its flavor is balanced, soft and fresh. The Italian winery Gravner produces unique luxury wines with their own category. Ideal for those very special occasions. Usually blended with Riesling Italico and Sauvignon blanc.
Ribolla gialla: This grape comes from the same area, whose wine is characterized by a deep color with a light body, a high degree of acidity and floral hints. Well aged, it brings nuances of nuts. It is another of Gravner’s star grapes and its exclusive wines.
Tardana: Grape par excellence from Utiel-Requena, its soft tone combines with an aroma of intense fruit and a fresh, long-lasting and harmonious flavor. Sexto elemento and Gratias are some of the wineries that work with this grape for their special productions. Verdejo: It stands out for having a strong aroma and freshness. Its wines contain an average degree of alcohol and its percentage of acidity ranges to high. That is why they have a bitter aftertaste in their softness and tastyness.
