Call it Amber Film Synopsis:
Call It Amber is an immersive documentary that takes the viewer on a journey back to the origins of amber wine – an ancient style that has suddenly experienced a resurgence in the last decade.
Combining footage from specialist wine fairs, pioneering wine producers and interviews with experts in the field, we build up a picture of this unique and fascinating wine style. Where did it come from, why is it so important for winemakers in Europe and beyond, who’s drinking it and what does the future hold for this curious beverage – whether you choose to call it skin contact, orange or Call It AMBER.

Call it Amber opens a window into ancient wine traditions and cultures, to understand how a precious amber liquid became popular once again – and how it spearheaded a worldwide movement of passionate wine lovers who crave naturally made, additive-free wines that challenge and refresh in equal measure.
The main aim of the film is to educate the public of the origins, production practices  and rising popularity of natural, particularly orange wines.

Personal statement from Simon J. Woolf: “This film is timely – and even better that it’s being made by a Slovenian Film Company, right in the middle of orange wine’s heartlands. Right from the start it was obvious that Studio Alp’s detailed, professional approach would deliver a very special film – and just as my book was the first to really go deep into the history of orange wine (and how it links

Georgia and Europe) so Call It Amber does the same in a cinematic form. Importantly, this film goes way beyond simple winemaker profiles, or endless shots of bucolic vineyard vistas. It tries to fathom the whole culture, audience and groundswell behind the resurgence of amber/orange wines.”

Shooting locations: Italy, Georgia, Slovenia, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.
