WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Grapeskin Georgian Orange Wine 2020 is produced using traditional Qvevri fermentation, a method involving large, buried clay vessels. The Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane grapes are fermented with their skins, a process known as maceration, which contributes to the wine's color and structure. Following fermentation, the wine typically ages in the Qvevri. Twins Wine House follows a philosophy of natural winemaking, with some vineyards managed using organic practices. The grapes are sourced from the Napareuli microzone in the Kakheti region.
