Some call it orange, some call it amber, we call it delicious but despite its name it’s not actually made from oranges! Skin contact wine is a white wine made like a red wine (White wine is made when you ferment red or white grapes without the skins). The wine is left on the skins of the grapes for days, weeks, or sometimes even months.

Riesling is often described as being one of the greatest and most diverse grape varietals on the market. Although it originated from Germany, it has found many homes in different climates in every corner of the world. Its naturally aromatic flavour profile, and high acidity gives the wine an (almost) unparalleled ability to come in an array of sweetness levels, from completely bone dry to lusciously sweet… and everything in between. 

One of most exciting and wonderful aspects of the Italian wine culture has to be the plethora of native grapes that the country contains which is rumoured to be in excess of 2,000 unique varieties spread across twenty different geographical regions. This incredible number gives the country such a broad range of styles at all sweetness, body, flavour profile and complexity levels that there really is something to please everyone, as well as something new and exciting to try.
