White Natural Wine Region|Ardèche | Wayward Wines

Region – Ardèche

Natural white wine can take on many forms; from bone-dry, pale in colour and decidedly classical, all the way through to wines with a much deeper, golden hue and notable substance. Hazy, vinous, and textured, with a plump succulence that coats the palate. We hope that our wide-ranging selection will throw up some new discoveries and maybe even take you out of your comfort zone to pastures new.

From traditional direct-press to wines that are allowed to mingle on the skins for just a short time, lending deeper, complex tones; whether you live to worship white Burgundy or seek out the most rugged, off-the-radar bottles from remote Italian or Spanish backwaters, you’ll find much to explore here.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Les Lèches 2024

Ripe and textural with layers of tropical fruits, spices and a bright mineral backbone from the limestone. This year the wine is dry and clear-cut, with smoky peaches, herby fennel, aniseed and zesty citrus oils coaxed out by the southern heat. A nourishing country wine with plenty of Mazel soul.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Mias 2023 MAGNUM

Magnum bottling. A dry, herbaceous Viognier with fresh, invigorating acids and a sharp, well-defined profile. White peach and fragrant bay laurel tail into the bitters, spice and salt of the long finish. A nourishing wine for the table that delivers so much purity and refreshment. Find out more.

Petite Nature
L'Amour a la Plage 2023

Golden amber in colour, with tannins that are chalky, dialled-back, yet deeply integrated. Citrus oils, ripe peach, salty apricot and sweet almond meld harmoniously with herbal aromatics and a distinctive tea-like quality. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Charbonniéres 2022

Demi-sec Chardonnay that is textured, vinous, and heaves with sweet/sour citrus fruit. A mean foil to fiery Southeast Asian dishes; the residual sugar really comes into its own in this context. A particularly wild Mazel vintage. Find out more.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
L'Alezan 'Suspens' 2022

Patricia & Remi's domaine white is a distinctly Northern Rhône affair; an equal blend of Marsanne & Roussanne from a single tiny plot, sitting a stone's throw from the river bend where the storied appellations of the region converge. Find out more.
