Orange Wine

Orange wine gets its colour and texture from extended skin contact. It’s a technique borrowed from red winemaking and applied to white grapes. If you’re looking to buy orange wine online in NZ, this range draws heavily on Central Otago. Pinot Gris and Riesling lead the way. It also includes examples from further afield.

You’ll find orange wine from Valli Wines and Sato in Central Otago, both working with skin-contact Pinot Gris and Riesling. Reed Wines and Hans Herzog contribute further Pinot Gris examples. Supernatural Wine Co. and Matthiasson round out the range with skin-contact Sauvignon Blanc and Ribolla Gialla.

For a familiar starting point with skin-contact wine, choose a grape or producer you already enjoy. Read the tasting and winemaking notes to compare texture, flavour and time on skins, and check the region if you want to explore orange wine from New Zealand. Follow the vineyard links for more background on the people and places behind the wines. Check the individual bottle for any organic or biodynamic details. For further discoveries, browse our Modern and Experimental wines alongside this orange wine selection.
