Grape – Arinto

‘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.

Humus
Branco Curtimenta 2023

Astonishing long-maceration wine, given a full year on skins in amphora. Richly concentrated, full of apricot stone fruit and spice, with a dense, mouth-coating palate. It has that distinct quality one associates with the best examples of amphora wines - something timeless, that might have been drunk in a different era altogether. Find out more.
