Fundamentally, their classification derives not from the type of grape used but from the winemaking process. Orange wines are white wines that are skin-fermented like reds. But unlike red wines, which are fermented for a period of 10 days to one month, orange wines can be fermented from two weeks to seven months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrange wines have the freshness of whites with the structure of reds,\u201d says John Wurdeman, owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pheasantstears.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pheasant\u2019s Tears<\/a> winery, which has vineyards in the Kakheti and Kartli regions of the country of Georgia. \u201cSo they can be compared to both white and red wines, but they are their own genre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Georgia is considered the birthplace of orange wine. Referred to as the original winemakers, Georgians have used citron-shaped clay vessels, called qvevri, to make wine since 6000 BC. These vessels were lined with molten beeswax and buried in the ground to stabilize temperatures. Over time, as viniculture spread, qvevris were replaced with barrels, which gave way to stainless steel tanks. The exception: Qvevris are still used to make orange wines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_5\" class=\"pull-quote body-block-tweetable-quote  has-border\">\n<p>People who are looking for something new are really surprised by orange wines.                            <\/p>\n<div class=\"tweet-quote\">\n                    <a class=\"twitter tweetable-quote-share tweet-quote-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=%22People+who+are+looking+for+something+new+are+really+surprised+by+orange+wines.%22&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fmagazine%2Ftaste%2Fwinemaking-orange-wine%2F\"><br \/>\n                        <span class=\"icon-twitter\"><\/span>Tweet this quotation<br \/>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_6\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p>The unusual aging process, which extracts phenols, tannins and antioxidants, produces orange-tinged hues that range from golden honey to deep amber. The colour varies with the type of grapes used (Pinot Gris, Rkatsiteli and Grenache Blanc, to name a few), the length of time spent in skin fermentation, and the method of aging, says Jessica Bell, a certified sommelier and wine educator who has consulted for Georgian wineries. \u201cThis is the oldest way of making wine,\u201d Bell says. \u201cBut people who are looking for something new are really surprised by orange wines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While they\u2019ve always been the wine of choice within Georgia, this method of winemaking didn\u2019t attract much interest elsewhere until Italian winemaker Josko Gravner visited Georgia in the early 1990s. He returned with some qvevris and made Georgian-style orange wines using Friuli grapes, thus drawing more attention worldwide to orange wines.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Italy and Georgia, Slovenia and Croatia also make orange wines, and over the last five years, adventurous winemakers in the United States have gotten in on the action. \u201cPeople making orange wines, by their nature, are more experimental,\u201d says William Allen, winemaker and owner of Sonoma County\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/twoshepherds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Two Shepherds<\/a> winery. Allen himself made orange wine from a blend of Roussanne and Marsanne grapes in 2011. He even makes an orange-style wine from a grey grape called Trousseau Gris\u2014it looks like a ros\u00e9 but tastes like an orange wine.<\/p>\n<p>In the Willamette Valley of Oregon, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johanvineyards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Johan Vineyards<\/a> winemaker Dan Rinke and winery owner Dag Sundby spent the spring of 2007 tasting Italian orange wines like Gravner and Radikon. \u201cWe kind of fell in love with them, and we were taken by their uniqueness,\u201d Rinke says. \u201cWe make a Pinot Gris, so I suggested trying to do a little something different with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their trials have resulted in very different types of orange vintages. \u201cThe \u201909 had a lot of lees in it, and it smelled like pumpkins,\u201d Rinke says. \u201cThe \u201911 and \u201912 vintages have hints of baking-spice aromatics. We\u2019re now starting to do a fraction of it with carbonic maceration [the fermentation of grapes in a sealed vessel full of carbon dioxide], and that tends to bring out more cinnamon and nutmeg notes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a genre, orange wines tend to have dried-fruit notes like apricot and peach, as well as a lot of nuttiness and caramel aromas. \u201cOrange wines are great to use in pairings,\u201d says Emily Larkins, wine director at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.craigieonmain.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Craigie on Main<\/a> restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts. \u201cThey\u2019re amazing wines to use as a bridge between different elements on the plate.\u201d Larkins says these wines work well with caramelized onions, nuts, cheeses and game birds, thanks to their richness in texture.<\/p>\n<p>That tactile aspect turns some people off. \u201cThey\u2019re wines that tend to showcase texture rather than fruit,\u201d says Jared Hooper, LA-based writer turned sommelier. \u201cThose who favour orange wines love the style, but detractors claim the uniqueness of the terroir and the grape is lost\u2014that the elegance of the grape is masked by the winemaking process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Orange wine aficionados, however, believe winemakers are just beginning to explore this process, and the wines are cropping up in places such as Chile and New Zealand. \u201cThey\u2019re not for someone who orders Sauvignon Blanc every day,\u201d Bell says. \u201cThey\u2019re for an adventurous wine drinker, someone who\u2019s open to something new.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Winemakers to Try<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pheasant\u2019s Tears <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kakheti and Kartli, Georgia<\/strong><br \/>\nThe wines here are all farmed organically and vinified naturally, \u201cwith nothing taken away and nothing added,\u201d says winery owner John Wurdeman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.since1011.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Alaverdi Monastery Cellar<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Telavi, Georgia<\/strong><br \/>\nOrthodox monks continue to use an 11th-century wine cellar and traditional Georgian practices to produce their orange wines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_7\" class=\"body-block body-cta large-body-media body-block-cta-small-body\">\n<div class=\"body-cta-container\">\n<div class=\"cta-text-container\">\n<h3>Complete your Eurasia journey at Four Seasons Hotel Baku<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-btn-container\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/baku\/\" class=\"btn btn-primary btn-small\">Check Rates &#038; Availability <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_8\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pyramidvalley.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pyramid Valley Vineyards<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>North Canterbury, New Zealand<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThis biodynamic winery uses something like a qvevri, but they don\u2019t bury it,\u201d says U.S.-based wine importer Chris Terrell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gravner<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Gorizia, Italy<\/strong><br \/>\nJosko Gravner\u2019s orange wines are some of the best-known in the world, but he prefers the term \u201camber,\u201d and he does use sulphites to refine his wines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_9\" class=\"body-block body-cta large-body-media body-block-cta-small-body\">\n<div class=\"body-cta-container\">\n<div class=\"cta-text-container\">\n<h3>Make it a Tuscan wine tasting tour and visit Four Seasons Hotel Firenze<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-btn-container\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/florence\/\" class=\"btn btn-primary btn-small\">Check Rates &#038; Availability <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"immersive_panel_10\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p><strong>Johan Vineyards<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Willamette Valley, Oregon, U.S.<\/strong><br \/>\nDrueskall, made from Pinot Gris, means \u201cgrape skin\u201d in Norwegian.
