About the wine
A rare beauty!
- This slender creature is modelled on an old world 'Edelzwicker' style blend. Sweet Gewurztraminer, zingy Riesling and crisp Pinot Gris come together to create an aromatic experience, leading with perfumed musk and rosewater. The exotic palate shows flavours of lychees and pears, is soft and well balanced and has a lingering, slightly off-dry finish.
- The mid palate is balanced beautifully. Adrian and Rebecca spent many hours at the tasting bench blending the flavours of each variety to perfection, in order for each element to complement the others, not overpower each other.
- Unusual and enticing..this is most definitely one to show off at a dinner party! Embrace the unknown and dive in to A & R's delicious world. It's incredibly unique in the Australian wine scene, a boutique opportunity the big corporates won't risk - and a great partner with a feast of spicy Thai and Vietnamese. Yum!
Best before
Perfect drinking at 6-12 months of age, and has the potential to cellar for 3-4 years.
Serving advice
Serve just a touch cool. Chilling too heavily would lose all the delicate nuances this wine has to offer!
Food match
Spicy Thai and Vietnamese cuisine really takes this wine to a whole new level of amazingness.
Contains sulphites
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!
