Orange Wine Georgia

In Georgia, orange wine usually points back to amber wine and qvevri tradition

International visitors often say “orange wine,” while Georgian producers commonly use “amber wine.” Both terms generally describe white grapes fermented with their skins, creating deeper color, aroma, tannin, and structure.

Georgia gives this style a distinctive context through qvevri fermentation, native grapes, and a tradition that treats skin-contact white wine as part of everyday wine culture rather than a modern trend.

The clearest way to understand the difference is to taste amber wine in Kakheti alongside fresh white and red Georgian wines.
