Westbound Margaret River Pinot Gris 2020
About the wine
Fruity, crisp and refreshing drop
- The parcel of fruit for this wine was tasted almost daily to ensure it was harvested at its peak. Sounds like a fun task to us! But that’s the kind of attention to detail we’d expect from a Naked winemaker.
- Get ready for the subtle but inviting scent of poached pear, white blossom and yellow peach. Each sip will reveal soft custard apple, pineapple, and again, poached pear flavours with a savoury hint. And a velvet touch that finishes clean and refreshing.
- A whole lot of winemaking goes into a wine like this. And it exists because thousands of Angels have embraced the talented independent winemaker behind it and given him the freedom to make it. Win win!
Best before
This 2020 Pinot Gris will remain fresh for several years, however the cellaring has been done for you, so perfect for drinking right now.
Serving advice
To be enjoyed, cold and crisp, straight out of the fridge or ice bucket.
Food match
The perfect addition to the locally produced 'Margaret River Farm House' range of small goods. How about a charcuterie board that includes smoked ham, beef pastrami, smoked chicken, and a cold glass of Pinot Gris?

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ben Rector
- Ben Rector is out to show the potential of the lesser known vineyards of WA. With more than 20 years experience across some of Australia's premier winemaking regions, he knows exactly what to look for in grape quality, no matter the climate. In 2019, he was awarded the Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot trophies at the regional wine show.
- The Pemberton and Geographe regions of South West WA are Ben's main focus. His aged release reds have all sold out in record time, and his flair for Chardonnay is undeniable.
- Ben takes great pride in his artistic licence, always ensuring that his wines go above and beyond. Angel feedback is gold dust, and the support he has received has allowed Ben to increase his output astronomically. All this in five short Naked years...what will he do next?!
