Common flavors found in orange wines are bruised fruits, pithy citrus, fresh cut herbs, sweet spice, and beyond. Generally speaking, orange wines tend to have more weight than your average white wine and are marked by varying levels of tannins. The exact flavor profiles of orange wines fall all over the spectrum, as grape variety, maceration time, and vinification techniques all play major roles in how a final wine tastes. When done with white grapes, the resulting wines range in hue from light gold to dark copper and span a myriad of flavors. This process of allowing the juice to remain in contact with the skins adds texture, tannins, and pigment to final wines.
Normally, white wine grapes are immediately pressed after harvest, meaning that they spend no time on their skins, whereas red wine grapes are crushed and macerated / soaked prior to pressing. Orange wine is a style of wine that incorporates vinifying white wine grapes using red winemaking techniques.
