About the wine
Gimblett Gravels Syrah Viognier, from the man behind Craggy Range
-
Rod used to be the top winemaker at Craggy Range, one of NZ’s most awarded wineries, crafting their world famous Syrah (what we call Shiraz in Australia). New Zealand as a whole may not be known for its Syrah, but the Gimblett Gravel region, within Hawke’s Bay, produces some of the best and most expensive Syrah in the world.
-
Rod chose to ferment and mature his Syrah Viognier in purpose built egg shaped tanks, to develop the wines texture and mouthfeel. Intense floral aromatics and peppery influence are a Hawke's Bay trademark, and Rod has delivered in spades.
-
This is a truly unique and exclusive wine to Naked. It is made in tiny quantities, less than 200 cases, so you’re gonna have to be quick.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rod Easthope
Rod is one of the most respected winemakers in New Zealand. He left top NZ wine label Craggy Range to chart his own course and make wines just for us. And he's never looked back.
He loves the freedom to make wines directly for enthusiastic Angels and looks forward to their feedback on every wine. Their support has allowed him to buy his own vineyard and winery to give his wines a home and live more sustainably.
Rod’s aim is to give Angels a slice of his unique corner of NZ, in a glass. He knows all the best growers and where their grapes are hiding, so only the best make it into his wines!
