Seville Orange Wine: A Unique Treasure to Discover and Pairing

26 de May de 2025

Are you looking for a different wine, with personality and that surprises from the first sip? Seville orange wine is that hidden gem that deserves a special place on your table and in your cellar. Today we tell you what makes it so special, its history, how to enjoy it and, above all, what to pair it with to live an authentic Andalusian experience.

What is Seville orange wine?

Orange wine is a traditional flavored wine from Andalusia, produced mainly in the Condado de Huelva area, very close to Seville. It is obtained from white wines (mainly from Zalema grapes) that are macerated with bitter orange peel. This combination gives it its characteristic amber color and those recognizable citrus and sweet aromas.

It is a sweet wine, smooth but with personality, ideal for those who are looking for new flavors without renouncing tradition.

Why try Seville orange wine?

  • Andalusian authenticity: It is a unique product, born in the south of Spain, with historical roots and a handcrafted elaboration that makes it special.
  • Unique aroma and flavor: sweet, citrus notes, hints of candied fruit, honey and a subtle background of bitterness that makes it unmistakable.
  • Perfect as a gift or to share: A different wine is always a good choice to surprise friends and family.

Pairing suggestions for orange wine from Seville

One of the great virtues of orange wine is its gastronomic versatility. Here are some recommended combinations to get the most out of it:

  1. Cured and blue cheeses
    The sweetness and citric touch of orange wine harmonize perfectly with cheeses such as old manchego, payoyo, or even blue cheeses such as cabrales. The contrast of flavors is spectacular and enhances both the wine and the cheese.
  2. Foie and pâtés
    An Andalusian classic: orange wine enhances the unctuousness of foie and country pâtés, providing freshness and an aromatic point that cleanses the palate.
  3. Nuts and dried fruits
    A simple but infallible pairing for a gourmet snack. Try orange wine with toasted almonds, walnuts or dates: the combination is elegant and delicious.
  4. Dark chocolate and citrus desserts
    Its sweet and aromatic profile makes it a great match for dark chocolate desserts, orange tarts, spiced sponge cakes or tocinillo de cielo. You can even use it as an ingredient in pastries or to “dip” fresh fruits.
  5. Traditional Sevillian tapas
    Dare to pair orange wine with seasoned olives, salted fish, mojama or even oysters. The result is surprising and connects with the essence of Seville.
  6. Creative cocktails
    It is increasingly common to find orange wine in original cocktails, combining it with tonic, vermouth or even in an Andalusian spritz.
