Colour – Red

Here at Wayward our large selection of natural red wine covers a broad dynamic range; from the most weightless, translucent expressions of the Jura, or juicy, perfumed Gamay from Beaujolais, through to more structured, robust examples from warmer, more Mediterranean climes, you’ll find them all listed here.

Reds to keep you warm in the winter and, yes, reds that you can throw into the ice bucket. From healthy, unique vineyard parcels managed with organic and biodynamic farming, the natural wine approach can yield wildly varying results in the cellar; we deal in classical appellation all the way through to the wild, raw outer limits.

Momu 2020

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.

Olivier Cousin
Pur Breton 2024

Olivier Cousin
