VineyardOrganic & Biodynamic
CellarFermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, minimal additional sulphites
An abundance of tangy sherbet lemon pithiness and chalky minerals to quench the thirst, with a balanced brioch-y undertone from the very present lees sediment. The frothy, finely-moussed bubbles and low finished alcohol make this the perfect aperitivo wine, particularly for those who embrace the cloudiness. Find out more.

GrapesCatarratto
VineyardOrganic
CellarFermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
A fine-beaded frizzante that pours a hazy gold in the glass, this very much takes the fleshy, textural peachiness of the varietal and sets it against the saltiness of both the lees contact and the limestone rock of the vineyard soils. Find out more.

Rustic, unpolished, unfiltered fizz. Salinity, zesty lemons & savoury depth. One of the first 'col fondo' wines we tried way back when and has been a firm favourite here at Wayward ever since. A big recommendation!

VineyardBiodynamic
CellarFermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
We've often likened this incredible Lambrusco-style sparkling red to a liquid summer pudding; there is the tart attack of forest fruits, but offset by a creamy, lactic element. As you'd hope from this style, the tannins grip keenly and there is an iron-y, sanguine quality to the dark wine. Find out more.
