Let’s clear up the confusion: no oranges were harmed in the making of these bottles. This is simply orange wine, which is essentially white wine crafted using red winemaking techniques. By leaving the white grape juice in contact with the skins during fermentation, the winemaker extracts deep colour, firm tannins, and a whole new dimension of flavour. The result is a striking line-up of skin-contact bottles that deliver incredible grip, structure, and attitude.
From the ancient, traditional clay amphorae of Georgia to the experimental, forward-thinking cellars of the New World, our independent collection celebrates this fascinating amber movement. Within this range, you can explore the textured, vibrant Naranjo from Chile alongside a handful of highly expressive Australian skin-contact wines. Expect complex layers of dried apricots, black tea leaf, exotic spice, and a robust texture that absolutely demands food.
Every single bottle in our cellar has been individually tasted and selected because it offers genuine excitement and exceptional drinking quality. These are complex, engaging styles crafted for anyone looking to push past the usual boundaries of standard white wine and characterful red wine. They are not for the faint-hearted, but they are absolutely essential drinking for the curious palate.
