Orange Wines
A daring and atypical wine, vin orange seduces with its unique vinification method: white grapes are fermented with their skins on, just like red wines. This ancestral process gives vin orange a remarkable aromatic richness, combining delicate tannins, spicy notes, dried fruit and floral nuances. Often made from grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Ribolla Gialla or Malvasia, it reveals a deep, complex palette. Originating in regions such as Georgia, Friuli and the Adige Valley, orange wine is the perfect accompaniment to spicy dishes, mature cheeses and exotic foods, providing an original and memorable tasting experience. For wine lovers looking for something new, orange wine, often organic or natural, embodies rustic elegance and real personality.

Orange Wines
Original and complex, orange wines are increasingly captivating wine enthusiasts looking for new taste experiences.

At Avenue des Vins, we have gathered an exclusive selection of exceptional orange wines to introduce you to this singular and growing trend.
What Is an Orange Wine?
Orange wine is a white wine vinified like a red wine, meaning it undergoes maceration, which can last longer or shorter periods, with the grape skins. Unlike traditional white wines, in orange wine, the juice remains in contact with the skins and seeds. This imparts tannins (similar to those in red wine) and gives the wine a lovely amber to orange color. This ancient winemaking method provides the wine with powerful aromas and a pronounced structure, placing it somewhere between white and red wines.
The History of Orange Wine
Although they have only recently become fashionable in France, orange wines are far from a modern trend. Orange wines have a long history, dating back thousands of years. Originating in the Caucasus region, particularly Georgia, they were traditionally produced in clay vessels called kvevris, buried underground for fermentation. This ancient technique has endured through the ages and is now experiencing a resurgence, especially in wine regions such as Italy, Slovenia, and France.
Best Food Pairings with Orange Wine
Thanks to their tannic structure and complex aromatics, orange wines pair perfectly with spicy dishes, aged cheeses, and exotic cuisines such as Moroccan or Indian food. They are also ideal for accompanying vegetarian dishes like roasted vegetables or salads with bold flavors. Their wide variety of styles makes them an excellent choice for exploring bold and unique food and wine pairings.
