About the wine
Crafted in Italy, chosen by Angels - Garys big, juicy Winemaker Fantasy red
Gary’s dream red was grown in some of the best vineyards in Abruzzo, a fantastic region flanked by beautiful beaches, national parks and sprawling vineyards, basking in the maritime climate.
With pandemic restrictions wreaking havoc with his planned trip, Gary turned to online tutorials to create this ripping red. He worked remotely via video, instructing his italian winemaking crew how to craft a Montepulciano just the way he liked it.
The result is a succulent ruby-coloured red, loaded with juicy black and red fruit flavours and the unmistakable scent of baking spices. If you like Shiraz, Cabernet or Durif, do give this bold beauty a go!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gary Stokes
Gary’s grappled with grapes all over the world from Australia and New Zealand to Abruzzo, Italy, where it was enchanting old-world vineyards that won him over. He now has over 25 years of winemaking wisdom up his sleeve!
- Stints at top wineries including Hardy’s, Stonehaven and Yarra Burn, and an eagerness to roll up his sleeves and learn every aspect of the trade, helped sharpen his skills. He’s a man who understands the magical transformation that occurs from grape to bottle, knowing when to get involved and when to let the fruit be the star of the show!
- After his winemaking compass finally settled on the Great Southern region of Western Australia, Gary got Naked in 2014 and began crafting honest, down to earth wine for Angels with his lighthearted label, My Other Self.
