About the wine
Big, robust and a little bit different
- Angels, Adrian & Rebecca have delivered a dreamy drop with a whole lotta attitude. Deep brooding flavours of bramble and dark spicy fruit are teamed with balanced oak, earthy notes and strong tannins.
- Certainly one to decant, this wine has a long life ahead of it! Give it time, slow the pace and kick your feet up while it breathes. Perfect to serve with hearty meals or good quality cheese.
- Durif is a hybrid variety that originates in France, although it is not grown there so much these days. It is now grown extensively throughout Australia and the California - it loves a warm climate. Durif produces small berries with thick skins, so creates quite bold, deep colored and tannic wines.
Best before
This wine is still super young, so will really benefit from at least 2-5 years in cellar conditions and time will soften those young tannins a little.
Serving advice
Because its still so young, we definitely recommend allowing it to breathe for a few hours before serving. Better still, open it up and shake it around - get the air through it, pour yourself a small glass, then leave the rest of the wine until the following night. We find right now, that it's actually drinking better on the second night.
Food match
This wine needs to be paired with something as big and bold as it is. We think a rich, beef pie with potato mash or slow cooked osso bucco are great pairings.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Adrian & Rebecca Santolin
- Adrian and Rebecca Santolin have been involved in winemaking for more than 20 years. Their dream was to one day make their own wine — but how? In a no guts, no glory move, this plucky pair used their hard-earned savings to make one barrel of Pinot Noir. The outcome was life changing...
- Their talent shone through right from the start and we snapped them up as our first Naked winemakers back in 2012. This dynamic duo are among our most popular winemakers, adored by thousands of wine-drinkers who love their European approach to the grape.
- Since those early days, the talented pair have gone from strength to strength, fuelled by their admiring Angels and a passion for crafting sensational wines. Over the first 10 years of being Naked, they scooped up 13 trophies, 55 gold medals and countless silver and bronze. And they show no signs of stopping!
