About the wine
A classic white from iconic Marlborough
- Using vines from the most idyllic spot for this variety in the Marlborough region, this Savvy B is made with love for the Angels. Equivalent grapes from this location usually end up in bottles that sell on wine lists of posh restaurants at two or three times the price.
- The wine was fermented warm with non-conventional winemaking yeasts then matured on yeast lees for three months. All this adds up to a bold drop that's complex and weighty, yet crisp and refreshing.
- It captures all those flavours (and then some) that have made Marlborough synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc - intense aromas and flavours of passionfruit. It's a renowned regional wine for an absolute steal, so get in quick!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Bill & Claudia Small
Bill (the winemaker) and Claudia (the viticulturist) embody the down-to-earth family spirit that has driven Naked from the word go. After travelling and making wines around the world for others, getting Naked meant the intrepid couple could finally make their own wine.
They love nothing more than creating the wines they want to make — without the compromise of working for a big corporation or the struggle of being too small. And that includes introducing Angels to the joys of Marlborough wine. Truthful and fun feedback from Angels is a huge thrill for the pair and allows them to tailor each vintage and explore new gems along the way.
The Small's passionate work ethic combined with Angel backing allowed the pair to become their own bosses. Strong relationships with growers of the best local fruit ensures consistently excellent drops, and in 2018 they realised their dream to buy their own vineyard.
