Welcome to the June Orange Club from MYSA Natural Wine! 

A note from our founder: 

Summer is here and we brought the pages back since many of you said you missed them! TY for the feedback and, as always, if you have other thoughts on the club please send them our way as we love hearing from you!

We are in Sweden this month, so you will see some fun collabs for our videos this month with content creators we love! Find them below and on social (note some might take a few days more than usual since each person had to create their videos for the month!)

This month is a fun and fresh round of chillable wines and basically all the stuff we found ourselves gravitating towards pulling out on a hot day looking to balance some hype with a few more classical style wines.

About Wightman

Wightman Winemaker

Adorning the Wightman & Sons logo, you will find a hand trowel — an homage to Andrew Wightman’s longtime experience as a builder. Also featured is a bush vine, representing Andrew’s latest venture operating a 24 hectare farm in the Swartland. The farm, called Môrelig, is a special place consisting of 7 different varietals, all organically farmed. The farm has also caught the attention of many Swartland producers, as Andrew’s fruit is highly sought after by the regions top winemaking talents for its quality and expression. While most of the fruit from the farm is sold (to the likes of Craig Hawkins, Eben Sadie, Jurgen Gouws to name a few), Andrew, along with his son Brandon, released their first own-labeled wines in 2015 and only produce around 900 cases per year. We are thrilled to bring these small production, exceptionally-valued, natural wines to the US.
