Internationally-awarded WA winemaking genius!
Stuart’s winemaking career is the stuff of legend. First bitten by the bug at his parents' little winery in Margaret River, he went on to make wines in the Yarra Valley, Geelong and Bordeaux, and study in Tuscany, Piedmonte, Burgundy, the Loire, Rioja and Priorat. So you could say he has a fair bit of experience!
He's been crafting wine in Margaret River for over 30 years now and helped put iconic wineries like Voyager Estate, Devils Lair, Stella Bella and Flowstone firmly on the map. There's nothing he loves more than growing grapes and making wine. And he's very good at it.
With the support of Naked Angels, Stuart has rediscovered his passion for hands-on production. His label, 'Hearts and Bones' tells a story of Margaret River and celebrates the Naked Angels that paved the way for him to make wine just the way he likes it.

Stuart Pym's Story
Stuart’s parents bought a property in Margaret River in the mid 70s and planted a vineyard. Initially taking a different career path from school, it was a stint back at the family winery in 1983 where Stuart’s winemaking adventure kicked off. Living in a rural area, he studied his winemaking degree by correspondence course!
In 1986, Stuart heeded the call of the hop and left the family business to make beer with the Matilda Bay Brewing Company. Five years later, he was back up to his elbows in grapes, this time for well known labels Voyager and then Devils Lair.
In the late 90s, Stuart and his partner founded the Suckfizzle and Stella Bella brands. It started as a weekend hobby that quickly grew to one of WA's most popular wine brands. But running the business took him further away from his passion — the actual making of the wine.
Naked Wines has allowed Stuart to get back to what he got into the industry for — making astonishingly good wine, just the way he likes it. And the best bit? He loves the connection and down-to-earth feedback from the people who drink his wines — the Angels. That’s unique to Naked!
