deinonychus commented on the word skin-contact wine
Found this horrible sounding type of wine while researching making wine from oranges. But I do enjoy that something could be described as "the opposite of rosé".
"Skin-contact wine, amber wine, or orange wine is a type of wine made from white wine grapes where the grape skins are not removed, and stay in contact with the juice for days or even months."
"This winemaking style is essentially the opposite of rosé production which involves getting red wine grapes quickly off their skins, leaving the wine with a slightly pinkish hue."
