WINE MAKING PROCESS
Rosorange is produced through a dual approach. A portion of the grapes, likely Cinsault and Grenache, are vinified in a traditional rosé style. Concurrently, white grapes such as Macabeu and Vermentino, along with Grenache Gris, are subjected to maceration with their skins, a technique typical of orange wine production. These distinct vinification methods are then blended together to create the final Rosorange wine. This innovative combination aims to marry the fruit-forward character of rosé with the textural complexity and subtle phenolic grip of orange wine.
