A Wine Revolution: Orange Wine & Cheese Pairing

Orange wine—or skin-contact white wine—is such a vibrant category because it bridges the gap between the acidity of whites and the structure of reds.

So why are orange wines & cheese the perfect match?

Unlike standard white wines, orange wines undergo maceration with grape skins. This process adds a gentle hint of tannin, some gorgeous oxidative aromas - think dried apricot, nuts, and honey - all of which mirror the savory qualities of aged cheese.  As these wines are made from white grapes, they also keep their crisp acidity which cleanses the palate after every salty bite of cheese.

Join our wine expert, Victoria Aldwinckle, for an engaging and informative orange wine tasting experience, where you'll delve into the distinctive characteristics of orange wines while learning about the perfect cheese pairings to elevate the flavours.
