About the wine
Fun, bright and easily enjoyed Pinot Gris
2020……a year out of the ordinary to say the least! After fire ravaged most of the East Coast of Australia many vineyards were affected by smoke taint and sadly our usual growers in the King Valley were not immune to this. Luckily through our contacts we were able to source Pinot Gris from a great friend of Kate’s, with who has a vineyard in Yenda NSW.
Notably different to its predecessors given it’s sourced from a warmer climate vineyard. This vintage is more in the riper Gris spectrum.
Lifted aromatics of Nashi pear, subtle florals and aromatic tropicals give way to a smooth and lingering palate with texture and depth.
Best before
Drink whilst young, fresh and full of bright aromatics. 1-4 years
Serving advice
Open with friends and toast away the madness of 2020! There are some good things that did come from the year!
Food match
Really beautiful with a seasonal cheese plate of aged cheddar, pickles and fresh fruit. Or try with NinaÂ’s Gyoza and chilli dipping sauce.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label

Meet the winemaker - Nina Stocker & Kate Day
Nina Stocker and Kate Day are multi award-winning winemakers whose lives have been inextricably linked since they became besties at Uni. They've since chalked up more than 30 years combined experience in some of the greatest and most historic winemaking regions on the planet in France, Italy, the US, Portugal, NZ and here in Aus.
Nina became Chief Winemaker for Catalina Sounds, Crowded House and Nanny Goat in NZ, scoring the prized Air New Zealand Trophy for Best Sauvignon Blanc. Kate was winemaker at the esteemed Willunga-100 winery in McLaren Vale when two of her wines were finalists in the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy. But creating a wine label together was their elusive dream.
It finally became a reality the day they knocked on the door of Naked HQ. Within minutes of trying their wines and realising what a truly formidable team these two made, the Two Pairs deal was done and dusted. And the name Two Pairs? A chance meeting at Kate’s wedding where Nina meet, and then married, the best man - Kate’s husband's identical twin brother. Thus creating... two pairs!
