Jean-Pierre Robinot Les Années Folles 2021
Les Années Folles is one of Robinot's famously delicious petillants, a looser style of sparkler that starts its fermentation in tank and finishes in bottle under the closure of the crown cap. This is made from a direct press of Pineau...

Maupertuis Pink Bulles 2021
Bulles as a rule. A wine we look forward to every year, Pink Bulles is heavenly sparkling Gamay from the Auvergne; that outlying, most southerly reach of the Loire valley where the river rises and the soils are a mixed patchwork of granite, sand and...

Mikaël Bouges La Bulle 2021
A blend of direct pressed Côt and Gamay from vines over gravelly limestone, this is Mikaël's rosé pet nat. A little rounder than previous years, still with the crunchy red apple and raspberry fruits but with a richer level of ripeness...

Mikaël Bouges Clic Clac 2021
Clic Clac is Mikaël’s pristine pet nat of Menu Pineau, from vines over 60-years old planted over gravelly limestone. Everything here is done by hand; the wine is transferred from tank to bottle during the primary fermentation and then racked...

Domaine Hugo Botley’s Col Fondo 2020
This is Dan & Hugo's second time nailing the landing of the Col Fondo: inspired by the Cremant of JP Rietsch, the final draw of the 2020 pressing - about 15% of the total yield- is saved in a separate tank for fermentation, before bottling with a...

Anders Frederik Steen The Brighter Cider of Life 2021
A cider/wine hybrid from Anders! The base here is Red Winter apples from a friend’s organic farm, which were pressed directly and fermented in cuve, with the juice finishing fermentation in bottle. The bottles were disgorged at the beginning of...

Orsi San Vito Sui Lieviti 2020
A huge house favourite when it comes to sparkling wine here at Cave Wayward, so look no further if you seek a recommendation. ‘Sui Lieviti' roughly translates as ‘on lees’, meaning that all of the grape must that starts the second...

Camillo Donati Malvasia Secco 2020
Amazing Emilia fizz at an equally amazing price point! Aromatic Malvasia, fermented on skins and refermented in bottle a la traditional method. The bottle is not disgorged giving a sandy haze. The wine bursts with flavour but is still incredibly...

Costadilà 330slm 2020
The number in the names of these characterful sparkling wines refers to the altitude of the vines - 330 uses fruits from the lower-lying parcels. The skin maceration is brief, keeping things on the lighter, fresher side, and the lees sediment is left in...

Joan Rubió/Tiques Ancestral Xarel-lo 2019
Immaculate stuff as always from señor Rubio, who during his time at Recaredo became a master of sparkling wine. This is Xarel-lo given the ancestral treatment (think pet-nat), but unlike a lot of the more wild, turbid examples of this style, here...

Cà di Noci Sottobosco 2020
Proper Lambrusco-style sparkling red that we describe as being exactly like summer pudding in liquid form. Lots of little black berries, a tart lick of acid and a nicely upfront tannic structure. This vintage has fermented out to a happily drinkable 10%...

Axel Prüfer - Le Temps des Cerises 'La Peur du Rouge' Sparkling 2020
A wine Axel has only made on a couple of occasions when the vintage has suited. The base wine is the same as the Peur du Rouge, but some Clairette was harvested at the end of October and the juice from this was used to re-ferment the wine in bottle. A...

Le Thio Noots Hénadé Bulle 2021
A wine that really spoke to us when we first tried it - this is a lively pét-nat made with an obscure strain of Gamay (Chaudenay, with thicker skins) that couldn't taste more like crunching on a bunch of grapes if it tried. Pure in its expression,...

Skyborry Canon Pyon Perry 2020 (750ml)

Cà di Noci Le Rose 2020

Testalonga I Am The Ninja 2021
The first time we have listed some of Testalonga's good-time bubbles! As if the bulldog on the label wasn't selling this one enough, here we have a zero- sulphur pét-nat of fleshy, vinous Chenin Blanc; disgorged 10 months after the wine went into...

Ca de Noci Tre Dame 2020
A rosato of 100% Sgavetta, with the most delicate spritz of pinprick bubbles. This style provides a wine with a much more approachable, lower-tannin character to the Masini brother's formidable Lambrusco. Here the fruit is more airy and light, with a...

Sparkling Wine
The beauty of sparkling wine is that once it goes into the bottle, that is just the beginning. A still wine is transformed through the alchemy of fermentation in bottle to become anything from a Cremant to a Pet-Nat, a Champagne, Prosecco or Cava, traditional method or ancestral method, disgorged or not, brut nature to demi-sec... the number of different styles and methods is great. We’ve got refined grower Champagne from the likes of Vouette et Sorbée through to the rustic frizzante wines of Costadilà and Orsi San Vito. The presence of co2 in these bottles often means it is much easier for the producer to add no sulphur to the wine too. Organic, biodynamic and natural wine in its many sparkling guises.
