About the wine
Single variety Petit Verdot - a rare find
Petit Verdot as a standalone variety is a rarity, and to get one of this quality is incredible. You’ll want to get your hands on it before other savvy Angels snap up all the bottles!
The grapes for this astonishing Red might be hard to find, but you won’t be forgetting how they taste. They come from one tiny block of vines in Willyabrup, in Margaret River. The north-facing site, lovingly and tended to by a passionate owner, is absolutely perfect for growing red grapes.
Hungry? Keep it traditional and go for some grass fed roast lamb and all the trimmings. And make sure to decant 15 minutes before serving, to help maximise its bold, memorable aromas and flavours.
Best before
Up to 15 years, but it is a really interesting, and thought provoking wine now.
Serving advice
Some aeration after opening will help, and pouring from a decanter always looks so much more civilised...it is worth it.
Food match
Margaret River grass fed lamb roast with vegetables...very traditional, but still a lovely meal and wine pairing.

Meet the winemaker - Stuart Pym
Stuart’s winemaking career is the stuff of legend. First bitten by the bug at his parents' little winery in Margaret River, he went on to make wines in the Yarra Valley, Geelong and Bordeaux, and study in Tuscany, Piedmonte, Burgundy, the Loire, Rioja and Priorat. So you could say he has a fair bit of experience!
He's been crafting wine in Margaret River for over 30 years now and helped put iconic wineries like Voyager Estate, Devils Lair, Stella Bella and Flowstone firmly on the map. There's nothing he loves more than growing grapes and making wine. And he's very good at it.
With the support of Naked Angels, Stuart has rediscovered his passion for hands-on production. His label, 'Hearts and Bones' tells a story of Margaret River and celebrates the Naked Angels that paved the way for him to make wine just the way he likes it.
