White Wine With Macération White wine with macération (=skin-contact) is sometimes called "Orange wine" or "Amber wine" resulting from its colour. Simply put, Orange wine is a white wine made like red wine. Usually, only juice is used to make white wine. On the otherhand, the red colour, astringency and complexity of red wine comes from "macération" that leaves grape skin, seeds and sometimes stem, in the juice. Orange wine is made through macération process like red wine. As a result of this method, Orange wine acquires colours, complexity and a rich texture. Today, we have a variety of choices of "orange wine" in the market. Many producers from different countries make this type of wine. The technique of maceration/skin contact has a long history, especially in Georgia(some assert it was 8000 years), and at least several hundred years in Slovenia and Venezia Giulia. Since the 1960's, clean and fresh white wine has dominated the market, and the "coloured white wine" became obsolete, and disappeared from international markets. Georgia had belonged to the Soviet Union at that time. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, but it was not easy to access this country because the civil war continued in Georgia. Therefore, the "orange wine" had been forgotten from the international wine culture. Time passed and the "orange wine" was revived by Josko Gravner in 90's. After much trial and error, Josko Gravner established his unique and ultimate style by the combination of maceration and qvevris modelled on ancient wine making in Georgia.
