Coby's Story

Born and bred in the southern wilds of West Australia, Coby spent endless after-school hours playing amongst the small vineyards where his Mum worked. After graduating from Curtin Uni in 2002 with a winemaking degree tucked firmly under his arm, it seemed only natural to return to the hometown his heart had never left. Coby had just one passionate intention. 

His silky winemaking skills have helped the stunning West Cape Howe, Singlefile Wines and Rockcliffe wineries garner coveted 5-Star Halliday ratings, and, he’s also been named as a finalist for the Young Guns of Wine awards.

“To seek out the very best, small sub-region sites to make exceptional single-vineyard wines that can compete with the best in the world.”

But, it was only very recently, when Coby summoned up all his courage to strike out on his own, that things really began to get, ahhh, Naked - began to really make sense!

Yep, when you helped Coby become a liberated Naked winemaker, able to handcraft small-volume boutique wines exclusively for Angels, that’s when another dream took shape and started to fly! 

“Naked Wines means everything to us. It is a way of getting our wines that we are very proud of on to the tables of people that will appreciate them. No point in making a great wine if no one is able to try it.”

We’re soooo excited to have Coby Ladwig on board with us here at Naked Wines. And Angels, it only happened because of you. Thankyou!
