Frequently Asked Questions
Blanc de maceration is similar to orange wine in that both are made with skin contact during fermentation. However, while orange wine is made from white grapes with extended skin contact, Blanc de maceration typically has a shorter maceration period, resulting in a lighter, more delicate texture and flavour profile.
It offers complexity and depth without the intense tannins often found in orange wines.
Skin contact during the 14-day fermentation process enhances the wine’s structure and aromatics, adding layers of texture and unique flavours that set it apart from traditional white wines.
Aging in stainless steel tanks preserves the wine’s freshness and bright fruit character. It also highlights the vibrant aromatics and textured mouthfeel created during maceration, ensuring a clean, expressive final wine.
