Orange / Amber / Skin contact

Orange, amber, or skin-contact wines are made by extending the maceration process, allowing the grape skins to remain in contact with the juice for several days or weeks.

 This results in a wine with a unique orange or amber hue and a complex flavour profile.

 These wines are made with minimal intervention, using native yeasts and avoiding the addition of sulfites.

 Additionally, skin-contact wines often contain higher levels of antioxidants and polyphenols, linked to various health benefits, such as reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer.
