Amber Revolution: How the World Learned to Love Orange Wine
A MUST-HAVE VOLUME FOR ALL WINE LOVERS
Written by renowned orange wine expert and award-winning writer Simon J. Woolf, Amber Revolution is the world’s first book to tell the full, forgotten story of this ancient wine (white wine made like a red wine) and its modern struggle to gain acceptance. It is a tale of lost identity, the fight for survival, and pioneering winemakers from the Caucasus to the Adriatic.
White grapes are left in contact with their skins for days, weeks or months during fermentation, creating stunning complexity, unusual aromas, and intense flavors. The extended skin contact gives these wines bold amber, russet, or orange tints. The technique is ancient, but the hype is new and fast-growing.
This book includes profiles of 180 of the best producers from 20 countries worldwide and is crammed full of all the information you need to find the best orange wines worldwide together with tips for how to buy, enjoy, food-match, and age them.
