Orange wine gets a non-alcoholic makeover from Proxies and sommelier Miguel de Leon.
For those who aren’t familiar, skin-contact wine is essentially a white wine that’s made like a red wine. While many modern-day conventional wines separate the juice of the grapes from the skins before fermentation, when a winemaker opts to make an orange wine, they keep the grape skins in contact with the grape juice for a period of time.
This method of making white wine is very old, but it’s become a trend over the past several years. Skin-contact wine has been making appearances on trendy bar wine lists and popping up in natural wine-focused bottle shops, intriguing new wine drinkers with its vibrant color and unusual palate. It’s no surprise, then, that de Leon and Proxies have come out with Vinta.I recently got the chance to try Proxies’ Vinta, and I’ll admit that I was pleasantly surprised.
All that being said, the blend of ingredients does work together especially well, offering a beverage that doesn’t taste dissimilar to some of the better orange wines I’ve had. Some skin-contact wines have the tendency to lack fruit on the palate, offering drinkers a Band-Aid-like flavor that has plenty of funk to it but not much else going on. As you can probably guess from the addition of fruit juices and concentrates in this blend, you won’t find that with Vinta.
Whether you’re a fan of skin-contact wine or not, there’s no denying that giving people more alcohol-free options that actually taste good and that have some complexity to them is a step in the right direction. Proxies and Miguel de Leon are making this widespread wine trend more accessible to those who may not always want to indulge in the real deal.
