Judges tasted their way through the 2026 Global Orange Wine Masters and found something the doubters didn't expect: no faults, full stop.
Judge Jonathan Pedley MW put it plainly — "no technical faults this year, not even unwanted oxidation." Gérard Bertrand's Villa Soleilla took the top prize for the third year running.
Natural wine done properly doesn't taste like a risk. It tastes right.
At the end of the day, every importer and warehouse a bottle passes through adds another markup — so less of what you pay actually buys wine. Less value in the bottle means less quality in the glass.
