Discover the adventurous flavors of orange wines, now available at the Liquor Market in Driggs, Idaho!
Orange wines, also known as skin-contact or amber wines, are made from white grapes but fermented with the skins, similar to red wines. This process imparts tannins and a texture more akin to red wine, giving orange wines a distinctive flavor profile.
Orange wines are dry, not sweet, and are excellent pairings for bold, flavorful foods. Their tannins complement spicy dishes like curry and fermented foods such as kimchi, while their acidity makes them versatile enough to pair with both beef and fish.
Nanit - is a Spanish wine made from the Macabeo grape, known for its complex aromas of stone fruits, citrus, and floral notes.
