Vogue: “Forget red, white, and rosé—Orange wine is what you should be sipping this fall”

A Georgian wine has topped the list of best international orange wines to try this autumn.

Popular fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue told its readers that orange wine was this season’s best choice. The magazine briefed the technology of producing this kind of wine then recommended several best orange wine choices.

Iago’s Wine Chinuri, the Georgian wine, ranked first on the list.

"Iago Bitarishvili founded his winery in 2003 to realize his dream of making wine in the traditional homespun way of his region,” said Vogue.

"So he crushes his organically grown chinuri grapes in a large, hollowed-out log and empties the resulting juice and skins into earthenware vessels called qvevri, which then remain buried in the ground for up to six months.

"It may sound like alchemy, but the result is a fascinating mouthful: pear, autumn honey, buckwheat, and eastern spices, with the structure of a red wine built for aging.”

The article also noted the traditional Georgian way of wine-making was loved and adopted by many other wine producers across the globe.
