Producer – Fabrice Dodane

‘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.

Le Dos d'Chat 2021

This lesser-spotted Riesling is a wine from the négoce project of one Fabrice Dodane, who you may know better for his work at the lauded Domaine de Saint Pierre. Everything you'd expect from a high-quality expression of the grape; high levels of mouth-watering acidity with a raw citrus quality, smoky lime and nectarine with that hallmark waft of kerosine lifting from the glass.
