Orange Wine Country|Spain | Wayward Wines

Country – Spain

‘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.

Vinyes Singulars
Xarel-lo Amphora 2021

The eponymous vessel always seems to lend a diffused, wide-open quality to the aromas of a wine - here white peach, melon and prickly white peppercorn provide a highly fragrant lift to the overall shape and balance. Tannins from the short maceration feel sanded-down and granular, raw lemon citrus gives a piquant twang, cutting through the smoky, pithy white grapefruit and tailing long into the finish.

Vinyes Singulars
L'Autocaravana 2022

After seven months resting in chestnut barrels the wine is texturally rounded, with some fantastic clarity and poise to its well-defined structure. Blood orange, pink grapefruit and little red berries hang in the balance with floaty floral blossom and cracked peppercorn spice. A fascinating, perfectly-executed wine from a small single parcel of less than a hectare Find out more.
