videoOrange Wine Explained: Simon Woolf on Amber Wine, Skin Contact and When It Becomes Orange
In this short extract from my full interview with Simon Woolf, author of Amber Revolution, we explore one of the most important questions in contemporary wine: what actually is orange wine? Simon explains why orange wine can be described as “white wine made like red wine”, how the term became popular, the difference between orange wine and amber wine, and why Georgia’s amber wine tradition remains so important. We also discuss when skin contact becomes orange wine, why colour is not the defining factor, and why fermentation on the skins is the key point of difference. This is especially useful for anyone studying orange wine, skin-contact white wines, amber wine, natural wine, Georgian wine, or the WSET Diploma D6 research assignment. Watch the full Simon Woolf interview and access the complete Orange Wine D6 module on Wine with Jimmy here: https://e-learningwine.winewithjimmy.com/course/d6-orange-wine You can also buy Simon Woolf’s book Amber Revolution directly from The Morning C

POUR SOME LOVE IS BACK — AND THIS TIME, IT'S ALL ABOUT GAMAY
Last summer, we opened up the cellar and invited a small group of wine lovers to step behind the curtain of our Love & Squalor Pinot Noir. You tasted through vineyard tiers, debated blending ratios with Matt and Alana, and went home with notebooks full of scribbled percentages and strong opinions. It was one of our favorite nights of the year. So we're doing it again — and this time, we're turning our attention to Gamay Noir. POUR SOME LOVE: Blending Event with Matt, Alana & Jess June 25th | 6–8 PM $45 General | $25 Club Members | Limited to 20 People Gamay is a grape that rewards experimentation. It's expressive, layered, and surprisingly versatile — and we've been working with several different barrels this vintage that each tell a slightly different story. On June 25th, we will walk you through a tasting of our barrelled Gamay Noirs, starting with finished wines so you have a reference point, then diving into the barrel samples themselves. From there, it's your turn. You'll play wit

Enter the Meursault megastars
How do you make steely, just-bottled white Burgundy from a cool vintage look even more razor-sharp? Serve it in a Meursault shed just days after the end of winter. So it was when I rocked up to day six of this Grand Jours de Bourgogne adventure, walking into another tonnellerie (the Tonnellerie Damy if you're playing Google Maps spotto at home) with icy breath and jacket buttoned right up. It didn't hurt the wines, though. I don't think anything can. The post Enter the Meursault megastars appeared first on Australian Wine and Drinks Review .
