About the wine
Succulent, rich and silky!
Karriview Vineyard is the oldest producing vineyard in Denmark, WA, and its consistent quality has been likened to some of the finest vineyards in Burgundy, France. Planted on North facing slopes, the old vines produce exceptionally ripe fruit.
Handpicked and partial whole bunch fermented, this wine has matured in new French oak on lees for 8 months. Its sensationally concentrated fruit characters are bursting with spicy red fruits - succulent, intriguing and promising a long lush finish!
Only a miniscule 25 cases of this extraordinary Pinot are available. But such an iconic wine from an iconic vineyard should be on any Pinot lovers radar.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Paul Nelson
Growing up on a vineyard, Paul thought was destined to be a grower, but a study trip to France changed all that. The history, passion and romance of winemaking lit a fire in his belly and he changed course. A winemaking degree and vintages around the world followed, as he honed his delicious craft.
In 2009, he took the leap out on his own, and within 4 years had bought the oldest winery in Denmark, WA. His sublime wines raised eyebrows in esteemed wine circles and earned him a Top 10 Best New Wineries listing. But his volumes were small - he needed more grapes and a bigger audience. In short, he needed Naked Wines.
And so in 2015, Paul came on board and went from producing just 40 cases of sensational handmade wine to thousands as Angels clamoured for more. He’s now grown big enough to add one of the oldest vineyards in Mt Barker to his fold (signalling more Nelson goodies to come!).
