Ashley Horner Family Reserve Hunter Shiraz 2016
About the wine
The Upper Hunter at its finest!
- Hand picked in the beautiful upper Hunter Valley, Ash has used his creative genius to gently guide this fine Shiraz fruit towards its destiny of liquid glory. After maturing in French oak, the wine has ended up with aromas of sweet toasty oak, raspberry, plums and earthy notes. The palate is a treat of dark fruits, chocolate and textured savoury tannins.
- Stop here if you're after organic, single vineyard, exclusively Naked, and seriously small scale wine production! On top of all this, it's the first ever Shiraz made from this vineyard since Ash joined the Naked family.
- It delivers all you could want from a classic mid-weight, savoury tannin and slightly earthy Hunter Valley Shiraz. Jump at this amazing Angel price today and stock up - no one knows if it will ever be produced again because of the yield possibilities of this particular vineyard.
Best before
Ready to enjoy now, but 5-8 years of patience will see the savoury tannins mellow, revealing dark fruit flavours and chocolate notes.
Serving advice
Decant for half an hour or served slightly chilled on warmer days.
Food match
Braised lamb with red wine sauce mash and vegetables would go down a treat! Pork sirloin with garden vegetables and apple sauce is also great, homemade pizza, or try your favourite creamy pasta dish.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ashley Horner
- Born and bred in the Upper Hunter Valley, Ash worked in local vineyards while helping to establish his Family Vineyard.
- He's one of the most passionate people we've ever met! When asked what he loved most about his job, his answer was "Everything! I love the action during vintage and the progression of grapes becoming a bottle to enjoy. I love the diversity and the abstract thinking you can put into creating a wine product. I also love the diversity of the people that work in the industry and how winemaking makes me feel complete in my life".
- What's the difference between Ash and the rest? His grapes are from organic vineyards and are made using fully certified organic practices!
