Grape – Gewürztraminer

‘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.

Charlotte aux Vignes 2023

Pouring a gorgeous, hazy shade of pink in the glass, this delicate, nuanced expression of Gewürztraminer shows the more elegant side of the grape. Taut and streamlined, the palate follows suit, with delicate flavours of rose, zest, spice and salinity combining to brilliant effect. Find out more.
