Region – Auvergne

‘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. 

L'Arbre Blanc
Les Fesses 2019

L'Arbre Blanc’s intriguing blend of Pinot Gris & Sauvignon Blanc from the iron-rich volcanic soils of the Auvergne. lifted aromatics of peaches and spice with a crackle of volcanic minerality, then such a pure palate, gripping tannic elements, dried fruits, quince and some creamy malolactic notes. Heavenly! Find out more.

Patrick Bouju & Justine Loiseau
Ergastoline 2020

Made using Bergeron, a highly obscure strain of Roussanne that is found in the alpine region of Savoie. Macerated on the skins and aged in barrel, it is is ripe and exotic on the nose, with dry tea-like tannins. Incredibly delicate, alluring and one of Bouju's harder to track down cuvées.
