About the wine
Not your run of the mill Merlot
-
Thanks to some new WA plantings this Merlot has a richer more distinct dark chocolate-like structure and flavour than your run of the mill Merlot.
-
The difference is in the quality of the fruit. Deep purple in colour and rich,fragrant aromas leap out of the glass. Medium bodied with silky fine tannins and the flavours just go on and on!
-
Absolutely cracking value and a bit of a rarity to see a merlot of this quality as a stand alone variety.
Best before
You could leave this for a year or so but I would not see the point of any further time. The wine is designed to be had in the medium term and there would need to be more concentration across the palate.
Serving advice
Open it with friends. Not further action need apply! As I've said this before, wines meant for the meduim term do not need any treament on opening, aeration etc.Cheers!
Food match
I think some roast pork on a Sunday is the thing.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Brian Fletcher
- Once the chief winemaker for Evans & Tate, Brian is one of Margaret River’s greatest treasures — and ours! In 30+ years in the business, he’s collected over 50 Trophies and 100s of medals. He works with a trusted network of exceptional local growers who guarantee him the best fruit. “They're as important to the process as anything,” he says. “ It’s their grapes you are drinking and I’m the translator.”
- He’s also a wizz in European wine production, earned through back-breaking vintages in old wineries in Italy and Tunisia. In fact, it was during Brian’s 5-year stint in Italy that he truly found his wine feet and decided there was no other life for him.
- Even with a resume like his, getting Naked in 2012 was a big deal for Brian. It meant he could create his own wines in his own name and share them with big-hearted wine lovers like you. And the direct connection to chat with you is the icing on the cake!
