Grape – Auxerrois

‘What is orange natural wine?’ - the question we are asked most frequently on an average day at Wayward. Named for its colour, natural orange wine is made using white grapes, but vinified as one would a red. That means the skins stay on through the process, often the stalks and stems too, bleeding pigment into the wine and producing all manner of deep golden, amber, ochre hues in the glass.

This creates tannic structure too - which makes them more complex than your everyday white wine and coupled with their lifted aromatics you are in sensory overload territory.

The varied skin colours of the blend of grapes here give this orange wine a sultry blush tint. Something tea-like comes to mind with the soft, grippy mouthfeel and the sapid, aromatic fruits make for a wine that is as atypical as it is intriguing. Dreyer never fails. Find out more.
