skin-contact
Flesh meeting flesh
Skin-contact describes wine made with extended grape skin exposure during fermentation, a technique traditional for red wines but now applied to whites and rosés.
The result—especially with white grapes—produces orange wine, with deeper color, tannic structure, and complex flavors: a funky skin-contact white from Georgia.
The term emphasizes process over color.
