In the Wine Light<\/a> is Virtual Orange Wine Week. \u00a0This day was originally started by Amanda Clair Goodwin<\/a> (known at The Real Housewine<\/a>) in 2018 as National Orange Wine Day<\/a> to be celebrated annually on October 6th. \u00a0This year it has been expanded to a whole week to be celebrated from October 5th – 10th.<\/p>\n

The goal of National Orange Wine Day and now Virtual Orange Wine Week is to according to the day’s website, “bring greater awareness to this beautiful, yet lesser-known style of wine in a way that is nonjudgmental, unintimidating, and inclusive.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, you may be thinking what is Orange Wine<\/a>? \u00a0No, we’re not talking wine made from oranges. \u00a0We’re talking about a white wine made from white grapes. \u00a0With orange wine, unlike traditional white wine where the skins are removed, the pressed juice remains on the skins to ferment for days to weeks or even months. \u00a0This gives the resulting wine an orange hue.<\/p>\n

Orange wines are more bold and complex than many white wines. \u00a0They might have flavors not typically associated with white wine. \u00a0Also, they can be more tannic due to the contact with the grape skins. \u00a0Orange wines are thought of have originated in what is now the country of Georgia.<\/p>\n

Have you had an orange wine? \u00a0Some past and current producers of orange wine in North Carolina are Sanctuary Vineyards<\/a> in Jarvisburg, McRitchie Winery & Ciderworks<\/a> in Thurmond, D\u00e9Fi Wines (Botanist & Barrel<\/a>) in Cedar Grove, and Lazy Elm Vineyard & Winery<\/a> in Mocksville.<\/p>\n
