What does orange wine taste like? That's me. The color vastly different to white wine. It looks orange. It's apricot and citrus and pear. It's almost like a white wine wearing a red wine jacket. It has more body. It's got tannins to it. This is because the grapes have been left in contact with the skin. We pair perfectly with a lamb dish. I give this a five out of five. It's a stunning wine, but not everyone is gonna love it. Has a Marmite effect. This is from Majestic for £13.99 a bottle.
