Ashley Horner Family Reserve Hunter Shiraz Viognier 2015
About the wine
A beautifully blended Top Shelf treat!
- People , get ready - here's Ash's finest! This is a stunning single vineyard and organically Estate grown wine from the Upper Hunter Valley, an amazing location but of course what should Angels expect!
- Aromas of dark plums, intense Raspberry and herb spices will bounce around your glass. This will lead to a delectable palate of textured tannins, forest fruits dark chocolate and clove spice to round out the finish.
- It is a hand crafted blend of 92% Shiraz and 8% Viognier, the grapes were all crushed together. All this love before they even saw time in a mixture of new and old French oak to really kick the flavours into gear. Amazing value and brilliant winemaking - just what Naked is all about!
Best before
Enjoy now or until 2023.
Serving advice
Chill in the fridge for half an hour to mellow and balance the tannins. Decanting this wine is also recommended.

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!
