Aromatically this is a textbook example of the grape; plush, brightly-toned notes of red berries, charred capsicum and ground coffee are vibrant and upfront. On the palate the wine is glossy, with deep, sumptuous fruit and gentle bitters leading into detailed granular tannins and a stony, mineral backbone. Find out more.

Pineau d'Aunis - a highly distinctive grape we have a real soft spot for. The colour is a bright, vibrant ruby in the glass and the cracked white peppercorn notes we love from this varietal shimmer off the back of all the little red and black forest fruits. Find out more.

100% Grolleau that at a featherweight 10 degrees of alcohol falls very much into that that 'vin de soif' category we so love here at Wayward. Lots of the earthy black fruit we associate with this lesser-sung grape and the oh so delicate 2022 vintage boasts a soaring violet perfume. Serve chilled for the best results. Find out more.

This is a dry, fruity rosé with lots going on. Flesh and texture from the Chenin, herbal cherry fruit from the Cab Franc and a lovely bit of fragrant spice from the d'Aunis. Fruitier and slightly wilder than the last vintage but still dry and very refreshing. Very tasty stuff! Find out more.

A serious wine with a silly name - Couilles d'Anes translates as 'donkey balls', a colloquial term coined by the local vigneron to describe the unusual black stones that can be found dotting the vineyard soils in certain locations. A delightfully aromatic vintage, bright cherry and bramble fruits meld with a violet perfume in the glass. Find out more.

Christophe Foucher makes atypical Sauvignon Blanc. This cuvée is vinified only in tank, stripping it of the idiosyncratic oxidate notes that often characterise Foucher's wine in favour of something more linear and fresh. Find out more.
