Uncorked – Monthly Wine Class: Orange You Glad It’s Summer

Summer has arrived and we’re all about skin contact.

Orange wines are crafted by leaving the skins with the juice of white wine grapes during fermentation in the same process as red wine, and the extended skin contact creates wines that range from brilliant pale golds to bright oranges.

Although made with white wine grapes, orange wine hold some of the tannins and glowing mouthfeel of a red that have created their world-wide appeal.

Certified sommelier Malia Brown prepares you for summer with a tour of summer-ready whites contrasted with these tannic orange offerings to tantalize your taste buds and plan your cellars for a summer of sun + skin contact!
