What is orange wine?

Contrary to what its name might suggest, orange wine is not made from oranges. It is a white wine that is vinified like a red wine. The white grapes ferment with their skins for several days, or even several weeks, which gives the wine its orange hue, tannic texture, and rich aroma.

This traditional method, which has been revived by many natural and biodynamic winemakers, produces wines with a very distinct character, often more complex and structured than classic white wines.

Orange wines from Provence typically feature notes of:

• candied citrus fruits
• tea and spices
• dried fruit
• Mediterranean herbs
• dried flowers
• with a touch of very elegant bitterness at times

Why is Provence well-suited to orange wines?

With its Mediterranean climate, aromatic grape varieties, and diverse terroirs, Provence is a region particularly well-suited to the production of orange wines.

Grape varieties such as Rolle (Vermentino), Clairette, Ugni Blanc, and Grenache Blanc develop beautiful textures and great aromatic intensity when vinified using maceration.

Provence is also home to many wineries dedicated to organic, biodynamic, or natural farming, where orange wines naturally find their place. These wines often reflect an artisanal approach to winemaking, with minimal inputs and low-intervention winemaking practices.
