Country – England

Do you know your pet-nat from your traditional method? Your Crémant from your col fondo? At Wayward the many ways with sparkling wine have always held a bit of magic for us.

The bubbles waiting to burst forth are the result of a unique fermentation that has taken place inside each individual bottle, from loose, low-key ancestral method spritz through to the tightly-moussed, needle-prick fizz of a regal Champagne or Cava.

Offbeat
Wild Juice Chase 2021/22

Hampshire Lambrusco? No, not something we thought we'd find ourselves writing either - but here we are! Offbeat embrace the experimental, so there is little to compare this too, but keep the Lambrusco reference in mind - it has that tart, freshly-picked bramble berry feel, with keen acids, so one could enjoy it in much the same way.

Black Mountain
Col Fondo White NV

Bright, zippy English sparkler with mouth-watering acidity and fresh, green notes of elderflower and orchard fruits. As its name suggests, the wine is made in the Italian 'col fondo' style - meaning to leave the sediment from the fermentation in the bottle, giving the wine texture and haze. Find out more.
