About the wine
A soft, silky stand out!
- Back in the hands of Angels, Jen's 2022 vintage Hero Cabernet Merlot is posied to steal the show once again! Your glass will take on a lovely dark red colour, and display incredible red berry, dry herbs and violet perfumes. The palate is generous and juicy, with vibrant berry and cherry fruit, a lusciously supple mouth feel and a long tasty finish.
- In Jen's words: "As my Naked journey has continued, my growers have gained the confidence in the market to put all the inputs into the vineyard, which results in happy vines and delicious grapes. This subsequently means better wines and better value for Angels. But then again, that is the Naked way, isn't it!"
- Each of the three Heathcote, Rutherglen and King Valley parcels were ripened at different stages and picked at varying intervals to be made into wine separately by Jen, before being blended to perfection. The Hero range are the next step up from the Rebel range, giving you the max quality for minimal dosh - enjoy!
Best before
My 2022 Hero Cabernet Merlot is delicious now, and will reward careful cellaring until 2029.
Serving advice
I recommend opening my Hero Cabernet Merlot (and decanting if possible) approximately 2-3 hours prior to serving.
Ideal serving temperature is 14-18°C.
Food match
My 2022 Hero Cabernet Merlot is really versatile and partners very well to most savoury foods. It is just delicious paired alongside a beef pot roast, braised lamb shanks, roasted veg pizza with tapenade, or pasta with a mushroom and garlic ragu.
