Style – Cloudy Funky + Wild
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.
Dry, for a start, and bursting with bloody, mineral forest fruits. A glass of this with a plate of salumi is one of the finest aperitivo out there. Find out more.
RegionArola, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
GrapesLambrusco Maestri
VineyardOrganic & Biodynamic
CellarFermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, minimal additional sulphites
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.

RegionValvignères, Ardèche, France
GrapesGrenache Blanc & Sauvignon Blanc
VineyardOrganic
CellarFermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
Crackling with a bright, nervy energy, the fruits have a pleasing balance of tart raspberry and plum. There is something iron-rich and bloody at its core and the mineral imprint of the limestone can be felt distinctly in the finish. Find out more.

GrapesCinsault
VineyardOrganic
CellarFermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites
Rustic, unpolished, unfiltered fizz. Salinity, zesty lemons & savoury depth. One of the first 'col fondo' wines we tried way back when and has been a firm favourite here at Wayward ever since. A big recommendation!
