About the wine
Delicate and delicious!
- It's easy to see why Adrian and Rebecca are excited about this wine, telling us at Naked HQ that Pinot Noir is "hands down our favourite variety to work with...and drink!" The Santolin's have sourced these grapes from Yea Valley, at a higher altitude than the nearby Yarra Valley. The slightly cooler conditions impart huge benefits on to the top quality fruit, just perfect for Pinot Noir!
- Medium bodied, well balanced, soft and complex, this wine will delight you with aromas of raspberries, plums and spice. This gorgeous blend of flavours will carry through to your palate along with notes of dark cherry and strawberries, plus some slight earthy characters from the hint of oak. Yum!
- Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape to grow well and its flavours are delicate rather than immediately powerful like most Shiraz. This wine is a great introduction for those wanting to get more familiar with this stunning & unique variety. Why not double up to make the most of a stand out vintage while it's here!
Best before
Perfect to enjoy now or until 2020.
Serving advice
Open early to let this breathe for half an hour before drinking, and serve around 16-18°C.
Food match
The Pinot Noir match made in heaven is duck, try braised duck legs with baby turnips. Poached salmon will also pair beautifully with this drop!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Adrian & Rebecca Santolin
- Adrian and Rebecca Santolin have been involved in winemaking for more than 20 years. Their dream was to one day make their own wine — but how? In a no guts, no glory move, this plucky pair used their hard-earned savings to make one barrel of Pinot Noir. The outcome was life changing...
- Their talent shone through right from the start and we snapped them up as our first Naked winemakers back in 2012. This dynamic duo are among our most popular winemakers, adored by thousands of wine-drinkers who love their European approach to the grape.
- Since those early days, the talented pair have gone from strength to strength, fuelled by their admiring Angels and a passion for crafting sensational wines. Over the first 10 years of being Naked, they scooped up 13 trophies, 55 gold medals and countless silver and bronze. And they show no signs of stopping!
