Grape – Syrah

Here at Wayward our large selection of natural red wine covers a broad dynamic range; from the most weightless, translucent expressions of the Jura, or juicy, perfumed Gamay from Beaujolais, through to more structured, robust examples from warmer, more Mediterranean climes, you’ll find them all listed here.

Reds to keep you warm in the winter and, yes, reds that you can throw into the ice bucket. From healthy, unique vineyard parcels managed with organic and biodynamic farming, the natural wine approach can yield wildly varying results in the cellar; we deal in classical appellation all the way through to the wild, raw outer limits.

'Lo Petit Fantet d’Hippolyte' Corbières Rouge 2022

Affectionately known a 'Tractor Wine' amongst our regulars, here we have an accessible, nicely balanced Corbières red that avoids being scorched and overdone in favour of ripe, toothsome red and black fruit. No oak, but still rich and bold. Find out more.

Val de Combrès
L'Ivresse 2021

Another trademark juice-bomb red, this time using the unlikely blend of Cabernet Franc and Syrah, the former grape a real anomaly in this part of France.

Hervé Souhaut
Syrah 2022

One of the big names of the Northern Rhône; when not producing fine St. Joseph, Souhaut makes affordable, knockout Syrah from his plots in the Ardèche. Perfumed, with cracked peppercorn spice and a little lighter on its feet than his classical appellation wines. Find out more.

Axel Prüfer
Le Temps des Cerises 'Avanti Popolo' 2022

A big blend of all of Axel's grapes varieties go into the 2022 Avanti Popolo. The wine is bouncing with bright red berries, roses and juicy forest fruits, all tied together with a pronounced streak of minerality and a hit of green herbs and spice Find out more.

Mas Coutelou
Classe 2021

At the fresher end of the Syrah-spectrum, with plenty of opulent, lip-smacking fruit. Lots of dusty blackcurrant on the nose, then glossy and vibrant in the glass. Generous and toothsome, propped up by a solid tannic backbone. Find out more.

Lucy M.
Vin Rouge 2020

Val de Combrès
Les Quilles de Joie 2020

Val's nod to the classical style of Luberon and the only of his wines to see time ageing in barrel, for a more structured, rustic expression. Despite this more old-school treatment, the trademark vibrancy is barely concealed beneath the surface, a burst of spicy cherry and raspberry is reined in with developed notes of tobacco and sweet leather.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Ostara' 2022

A plush, glossy wine with bright aromas of cherry and raspberry, both fresh and confected, over a compact body of these gateaux-like fruits, with a subtle framboise-esque almond note hovering just out of shot. A judicious balance of grip and crunch to the finish keeps things feeling clear-cut and pure, working its magic most effectively when served with a brisk chill. Find out more.

Tom Shobbrook
Pocco Rosso 2020

Tom's more rustic, structured Syrah - a nice counter to the airy 'Poolside'. That lighter wine does play its part here, the whole bunches of old vine grapes are submerged in its fermenting juice, providing a balance of what he describes as 'youth and wisdom'. An abundance of umami flavours at play here underneath all the fruit. Find out more.

Petite Nature
Sorcières 2022

This is resolutely a red wine, despite 50% of the grapes being white, such is the influence of the Syrah. The Chardonnay and Viognier keep things delightfully silky and fluid, but the red grape provides a huge aromatic lift, that somehow seems to carry itself through into the palate, which is dense with dark blackcurrant fruits and juicy, saline black olive.
