Orange Wine Explained | WSET Diploma D6 Assignment Guide

In this video, I introduce the WSET Diploma D6 assignment topic on orange wine, looking at what orange wine is, how the term is used, and why skin-contact white wines have become such an important part of the modern wine world. For the full Wine with Jimmy orange wine section, including producer interviews, additional videos and more, visit the course here: https://e-learningwine.winewithjimmy.... This is Part 1 of my orange wine series for WSET Diploma students. I explore the definition of orange wine, the difference between orange wine, amber wine, skin-contact wine, macerated white wine and vin blanc macéré, and the historical background of macerated white wines in regions such as Friuli, Brda and the Vipava Valley. I also look at the key structural and sensory features that help define orange wine, including colour development, increased aromatics, skin contact, maceration, phenolic extraction and the role of tannin. These are important ideas to understand when approaching the WSET Diploma D6 research paper. Orange wine may also be described using terms such as amber wine, skin-contact white wine, macerated white wine, macération pelliculaire, vin blanc de macération, vin blanc macéré, vino bianco macerato, and qvevri or amber-style wines, depending on the producer, region and context.
