Lagoon View Merlot 2013
About the wine
Amazing award-winning 2013 VIC Merlot
-
Meticulously made from prime fruit, with plenty of skin contact, and an 18-month snooze in French and American oak barrels - what’s not to like!
-
This 4 gold medal winner smells of cherries and plums and smacks of black cherry, dark chocolate and hints of coffee. Fruit-forward with a long lasting finish.
-
You’d be hard pushed to find aged Australian wines of this pedigree at anywhere near this price. Thanks to your support for independent winemakers and our Stop the Squeeze fund, they can be yours.
Best before
These wines are ready for drinking now having been matured and stored as part of our museum release program. However, they will also reward another 1-2 years cellaring.
Serving advice
Bottling with DIAM cork has ensured the preservation of this wine for years to come. Once the cork is removed, we would recommend decanting or allowing to breath for 1 hour to enjoy the wine at its best.
Food match
Confit Duck with a Pear and Walnut Gorgonzola Salad, Pan Seared Salmon served with herbs and capers, Tomato and Herb Linguine with Steamed Mussels, topped with Parmesan cheese.
Contains sulphites

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Barbara Gallo & Glenn Eberbach
The team at Stratford Vineyard have been successfully making excellent wines for many years. The vineyard has been awarded over 700 awards in the last six years including winery of the year, double gold, gold, silver and bronze medals in Australia and International wine shows.
Chances are, you’ve heard of Stratford Vineyard before - only then they were known by a different name. They first joined Naked’s Stop the Squeeze program with the Lagoon View wines that were caught up in the China tariff crisis. The relationship was intended to be temporary. Then something very special happened.
Both the Stratford team and the Angels adored one another so much, the team decided to be part of Naked exclusively… and permanently. So here they are, using their actual vineyard’s name, with Naked for good! May we introduce vineyard co-owners Barbara and Sam Gallo and their winemaker, Glenn Eberbach - our newest team behind Stratford Vineyard.
