Wines for Autumn

Style – Ageworthy

Now that Autumn has definitely arrived, we thought it time to put together a selection of natural wines fit for the season. Rich, comforting, warming, aromatic, sensual: these are the bottles we reach for at this time of year.

Antonio Gismondi
Foresta 2023

Deploying some grapes from a different site at lower altitude where the obscure pink-skinned Trebbiano Rosa varietal is planted over soils of heavy clay, this is the more robust and structured of Antonio's wines, whilst still retaining his trademark purity and freshness. Find out more.

  • Grapes Trebbiano, Trebbiano Rosa & Malvasia di Candia

Cantina Giardino
Drogone 2019

Chewy, robust Aglianico that sees a long maceration followed by extended maturation in old chestnut barrels. A wine that needs time for its tannins to integrate, this 2018 is now in a great place, and will improve for many years to come. Find out more.

  • Region Irpinia, Campania, Italy
  • Grapes Aglianico

  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
£33.50

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.

  • Region Chénas, Beaujolais, France
  • Grapes Gamay
  • Vineyard Organic (in conversion)
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, minimal additional sulphites
£30

François Saint-Lô
Bois Guyon 2019

Impressively refined Cabernet Franc from very old vines. A glossy texture and fine-grained tannins that can only be achieved with patient winemaking. Showing all the dark fruit and herbaceous qualities we love in this grape. Find out more.

Ar.Pe.Pe.
Rosso di Valtellina 2022

A real gateway wine for us here at Wayward, and one that taught us that Nebbiolo isn't all about Barolo and Barbaresco. Lithe and elegant with nimble red cherry fruits and a charred rose petal perfume. Find out more.

  • Region Valtellina, Lombardy, Italy
  • Grapes Nebbiolo
  • Vineyard Organic

La Stoppa
Ageno 2020

Unreal levels of depth, concentration and complexity are to be found in this show-stopping, deeply amber wine. So many things to pick out aromatically it's hard to know where to start. Find out more.

  • Region Emilia-Romagna, Italy
  • Grapes Malvasia, Ortrugo, Trebbiano
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, minimal additional sulphites

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.

  • Region Puimisson, Languedoc, France
  • Grapes Syrah, Grenache & Carignan

Electrically-charged Etna rosso with plenty of brooding charisma, its character transmitting as a fresh heap of cherries steeped in violet perfume, buoyed on a black cushion of volcanic smoke. Find out more.

  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites

Elisa Guerin
'Les Thorins' Moulin-à-Vent 2022

The darker, more brooding and structured side of Elisa's two Moulin-à-Vent cuvées; this is the only of her wines that sees any time in barrel. Robust and ageworthy, with an iron-rich mineral streak imparted by the gorrha soils that define this single 1.5-hectare plot. Find out more.

  • Region Beaujolais
  • Grapes Gamay
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, minimal additional sulphites
£32.75

Le Mazel
Cuvée Paulou 2023

Crackling with a bright, nervy energy, the fruits have a pleasing balance of tart raspberry and softer, rounded plum. There is something iron-like and bloody at the core and the mineral imprint of the limestone can be felt distinctly in the finish. Find out more.

  • Region Valvignères, Ardèche, France
  • Grapes Cinsault
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
£23.50

Le Mazel
Cuvée Briand 2023

In keeping with the vintage, 2023 sees an abundance of blackcurrant fruit right upfront, giving way to those typically herb-flecked liquorice notes, fennel and clove. Find out more.

  • Region Valvignères, Ardèche, France
  • Grapes Grenache
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
