Grape – Catarratto

‘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.

Ninfa 2021

A small step up in price from their affordable, easy-going Munir cuvée gives you so much more wine in Ninfa, a maceration of an obscure strain of Catarratto. It's a proper orange wine with colour and structure, and an incredible aromatic profile of ginger and apricots. Saline, bold, and surprising. Find out more.

Fabio Ferracane
Macerato 2022

Highly aromatic, burnished amber maceration of Catarrato. Sea-salted apricot with a heady waft of wild herbs and flowers float out of the glass preceding grippy, mouth-coating tannins and a resinous pine cone quality, inflected with medicinal eucalyptus. Exactly the style of orange wine that we love! Find out more.
