Our market price is what you’d actually have to pay for this wine at an old-fashioned retail store.
It’s based on the price of similarly rated benchmark bottles on the market.
We test these market prices every vintage with blind tasting panels, to make sure they’re honest and accurate.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Angel Price, we’ll add a credit to your account.

About the wine
Victoria's premium Shiraz region, bottled for you!
- Hand grown and picked by Tait Hamilton whose family vineyard is on the prestige soils of Heathcote. Tait is a hardworking and careful grower, and he has a site which is an incredible gift from nature!
- Your glass will be boldly coloured with youthful magenta on the rim. Scrumptious layers of plum, blackberries, chocolate and raisins will sing along with earthy, peppery hints. Tannins are ripe and plush, lending texture to round out each powerful, flavour packed slurp!
- The low pH of Tait's fruit is associated with bright colour and 'stable' wine which can almost make itself with minimal intervention - the challenge is not messing up the natural gift. The wine is full bodied with warmth from ripe fruit and subsequent high alcohol. Time spent in new an one year old oak barrels has given it a moreish, smokey finish. Go on, treat yourself to the tip-top of Naked's shelves!
Best before
I happily drink this wine as a youngster - I love the combination of plushness and brightness on the palate, the intensity of flavour, and the balance. But it also has the structure and high intensity of flavour which gives it an ability to develop in a positive way over 3-6 years.
Serving advice
Best served at 16-18C
Food match
We have a great butcher in Avenel, and ideally we'd have a piece of aged beef from Scotty to go with this Shiraz. I really like beef off the kamado smoker/barbeque (I had to look up what this sort of barbie is called, the best known brand is the Big Green Egg) with some hickory on the coals - the wood smoke is a lovely match for the sweet smokey oak character in Tait's Shiraz.
