About the wine
Seductive and silky smooth
Sourced from the excellent Nelson family-owned Karriview Vineyard, the region’s oldest producing Pinot vineyard. 100% handpicked, whole bunch fermentation, clay amphorae maturation, unfined and unfiltered - hence the slightly opaque colour. It’s had the works!
Seductive fresh and vibrant with fine chalky tannins. Hints of herbs, spices and dusty earth support a rich fruit profile that is elegant and lingering.
This delicious Pinot truly represents the variety and the site - ever so lightly oaked this is a wine that speaks of its origins and offers extraordinary drinkability. It is simply perfect with BBQ’d lamb chops - yummm!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Paul Nelson
Growing up on a vineyard, Paul thought was destined to be a grower, but a study trip to France changed all that. The history, passion and romance of winemaking lit a fire in his belly and he changed course. A winemaking degree and vintages around the world followed, as he honed his delicious craft.
In 2009, he took the leap out on his own, and within 4 years had bought the oldest winery in Denmark, WA. His sublime wines raised eyebrows in esteemed wine circles and earned him a Top 10 Best New Wineries listing. But his volumes were small - he needed more grapes and a bigger audience. In short, he needed Naked Wines.
And so in 2015, Paul came on board and went from producing just 40 cases of sensational handmade wine to thousands as Angels clamoured for more. He’s now grown big enough to add one of the oldest vineyards in Mt Barker to his fold (signalling more Nelson goodies to come!).
