Georgia, where Orange is the new tack
The outstanding 2024 crop is helping Georgia recover from the challenging conditions of the previous year, with pressure from war bubbling just beneath the surface. The country’s orange wine is garnering international acclaim. In fact, Georgia secured an endorsement, not only for the colour by OIV but also a Unesco Intangible Heritage listing for this ancient form of winemaking. Despite this, orange wine accounts for just 5% of production in a country that boasts over 500 native grapevines. We focus on some of its iconic wineries.
