About the wine
Premiere WA Chardonnay from the guy who knows...stuff!
- With huge Angel support over the last two years, Gary has enjoyed more opportunities to get creative. This year brings the release of his first ever Naked Chardy! It's a mouth watering blend of incredible fruit parcels from both Frankland River and a touch from Margaret River, bringing home moreish complexity that will have you pouring just one more ...
- The sub-region of Frankland River is mighty Chardonnay producing area, with soils that ensure great citrus characters and a fine line of acidity. Gary used free run juice only and matured the wine in French oak to balance out each sip and achieve a modern, approachable style of Chardonnay.
- This is a perfect match for food, as the natural fruit and acidity shines through with perfect refreshment. Stone fruit, grapefruit, and cashew nut aromas will all delight you, finishing long with a touch of spice and creaminess. Why not pop it in your next Angel basket, you made it happen!
Best before
Ready to enjoy now or until 2021.
Serving advice
Not too chilled; the aromas and palate will express more about 25 mins after leaving the fridge.
Food match
Albany Marron on the bbq with garlic butter. Yum!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gary Stokes
Gary’s grappled with grapes all over the world from Australia and New Zealand to Abruzzo, Italy, where it was enchanting old-world vineyards that won him over. He now has over 25 years of winemaking wisdom up his sleeve!
- Stints at top wineries including Hardy’s, Stonehaven and Yarra Burn, and an eagerness to roll up his sleeves and learn every aspect of the trade, helped sharpen his skills. He’s a man who understands the magical transformation that occurs from grape to bottle, knowing when to get involved and when to let the fruit be the star of the show!
- After his winemaking compass finally settled on the Great Southern region of Western Australia, Gary got Naked in 2014 and began crafting honest, down to earth wine for Angels with his lighthearted label, My Other Self.
