Domaine de Castelnau Picpoul de Pinet

Generally yes, but not exclusively. White wine is made from grapes with colourless or pale skin, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling, fermented without skin contact. However, white wine can also be made from red or black grapes, as in Blanc de Noirs Champagne, which uses Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with early pressing to avoid skin colour extraction. Orange wine, a growing category, is made from white grapes but with extended skin contact, producing a tannic, amber, and oxidative character.
