Orange Wine | Why It’s Wild, Natural, and Worth Obsessing Over

Orange Wine: What It Is, Why It’s Wild, and the Bottles We Can’t Stop Pouring

Let’s get one thing straight: orange wine isn’t made from oranges. It’s wine made from white grapes, fermented like a red — which means the grape skins stay in the mix, adding colour, texture, and a whole lot of character. The result? Wines that are bold, savoury, sometimes grippy, and never boring.

If you’ve ever found white wine a bit too clean and red wine a bit too heavy, orange might be your Goldilocks moment.

Why We’re Obsessed With Orange Wine

At Taste Union, we stock a lot of natural wine — but orange wines hold a special place in our (very full) glasses. They’re unpredictable in the best way, packed with flavour and always ready to surprise. From aromatic and punchy to dry and elegant, orange wines are the rebels of the wine world — and we love rebels.

Our orange wine brings together four of our favourite small-batch, skin-contact bottles from the South of France. Here's what you need to try:


🍊 Colline de l’Hirondelle – Bleu (2023)

A skin-contact blend of Terret Gris and Macabeu from one of our all-time favourite domaines. Bleu is light, vibrant, and coppery in colour, with just a whisper of grip and plenty of citrus lift. With only 1,000 bottles made, it’s as rare as it is drinkable.

☀️ Château de Paraza – Été Indien

Made from Gewürztraminer grapes, this skin-contact orange wine brings tropical fruit, spice, and floral notes into one beautifully balanced bottle. It’s bold without being brash, with a silky mouthfeel and a sunny vibe that lives up to its name.

🍑 Gilles Troullier – Maceration Orange

Dry, wild, and full of life, this orange wine made from Macabeu and Muscat à Petits Grains is unfiltered and unapologetically natural. Think orange peel, herbs, and a dry, savoury finish — perfect for pairing with food or sipping slowly.

🍂 Mouton Noir – Les Blancs

A blend of Grenache Blanc and Macabeu, Les Blancs is refined, textural, and deeply aromatic. There’s structure, elegance, and just enough funk to keep things interesting. Serve it with something rich and salty — or nothing at all.
