What is Qvevri Amber and Why Is Everyone Looking for It

Amber wines, or orange wines, are white grape varieties fermented and macerated with their skins, seeds, and stems in clay vessels buried in the ground (qvevri). This method dates back 8,000 years and is recognized by UNESCO. In the glass, such wine acquires a deep amber color, a complex aromatic profile with notes of dried fruit, nuts, and spices, as well as a dense tannic body reminiscent of red wines.
