Style – Full + Robust

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.

Principiano Ferdinando
'Serralunga' Barolo 2019

Biodynamically-farmed, zero-sulphur Barolo? Not something you see every day. Ferdinando's entry-point, from the youngest vines on the estate, showing all that bold, chewy, sweet leather character, but with some generous fruit vigour that steers this wine away from severity, even in its (relative) youth.

Hervé Souhaut
Syrah 2022

Elisa Guerin
'La Vigne de Mon Pere' Moulin-à-Vent 2022

A wonderful example of what this cru can offer. Often making some of the more structured, ageworthy Beaujolais, here a balance of muscularity and elegance is on display. A wide-open aromatic profile leads to dark, inky fruits with an almost Burgundian character. Find out more.

Mas Coutelou
Classe 2021

At the fresher end of the Syrah-spectrum, with plenty of opulent, lip-smacking fruit. Lots of dusty blackcurrant on the nose, then glossy and vibrant in the glass. Generous and toothsome, propped up by a solid tannic backbone. Find out more.

Val de Combrès
Les Quilles de Joie 2020

Val's nod to the classical style of Luberon and the only of his wines to see time ageing in barrel, for a more structured, rustic expression. Despite this more old-school treatment, the trademark vibrancy is barely concealed beneath the surface, a burst of spicy cherry and raspberry is reined in with developed notes of tobacco and sweet leather.

Tom Shobbrook
Pocco Rosso 2020

Tom's more rustic, structured Syrah - a nice counter to the airy 'Poolside'. That lighter wine does play its part here, the whole bunches of old vine grapes are submerged in its fermenting juice, providing a balance of what he describes as 'youth and wisdom'. An abundance of umami flavours at play here underneath all the fruit. Find out more.

Vins d'en Tom
Bota 2021

Bota hails from Tom's own single hectare parcel, right outside his house. Here the alluvial soils are more rocky and some of the vines were planted as far back as the late 30s, at the end of the Spanish civil war. Bristling with spice, it is a dark, sappy wine with a robust structure and some charming Catalan rusticity. Find out more.

Cascina Iuli
Rossore 2020

Dark, brooding Piedmontese Barbera that sees a long maturation in old barrels, adding many layers of complex cedar spice to wrap around the smoky red fruits. From the 2019 vintage this wine is starting to show the years under its belt incredibly well, the grape's characteristic high acid keeping things in check. Find out more.

La Vrille et le Papillon
Novemberlot NV

The Croziers always like to experiment each year, but Novemberlot is a real one-off. Following the frost of 2021, where many of the grapes were lost, inexplicably in November of the same year the vines had rarely-seen second budding, producing some small bunches of grapes. Seen by Meryl and Geraldine as a sort of consolation for the earlier losses, they were harvested and vinified, then blended with the rest of the 2021 Merlot from the first harvest. Find out more.
