WINE MAKING PROCESS
Christina Orange 2023 is produced using skin contact maceration, a technique characteristic of orange wines, where white grape skins are left in contact with the juice during fermentation. This process extracts color, tannins, and flavor compounds from the skins. The wine is a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Welschriesling, suggesting these grapes are fermented together or blended post-fermentation. The wine has a moderate alcohol content of 12% and is recommended for consumption within a relatively short timeframe, indicating a focus on fresh fruit and spice characteristics rather than extended aging.
