About the wine
Rare and powerful premium red from the Margaret River
"I just received my standing order for a case of 6. I’ve been getting these every year since the 2016 release. Best vintage yet I reckon! Many need to order another 6!" - Paul, Angel (of the 2023 vintage)
This wine has been rated 93% or higher for 11 years. Tempranillo from Margaret River is a rare thing and winemaking powerhouse Brian Fletcher's passionate approach to winemaking here has created a bold and beautiful wine.
This is a striking red that evokes age and complexity. It's packed to the rafters with dark berries, raisin toast and a hint of vanilla - each massive mouthful hanging around long after you've finished it. It's forthright and solid, but there’s no austerity or hardness, just power.
Brian is a true champion of the Margaret River. He's a master of Tempranillo and his iconic El Cid shows off his winemaking prowess and the superb local fruit he's poured into it. If you like a big red, you'll adore this!
Best before
Drink it now with pleasure, or cellar it for three to five years and watch it develop some lovely secondary complexity - dried fruit, leather, a quiet earthiness. The structure is there. It won't let you down.
Serving advice
Twenty to thirty minutes in a decanter does wonders, especially on a young bottle. Serve it at around 16-17°C - slightly below what most people call room temperature in an Australian summer. The freshness is one of its best qualities and there's no point cooking it out of existence.
Food match
Slow-roasted lamb shoulder with roasted peppers and smoked paprika. It's almost a cliché with Tempranillo but it's a cliché for good reason. If you want something simpler, Manchego, good charcuterie and a few Medjool dates on the board will do the job very nicely. My dad was a butcher, so I feel some obligation to recommend the lamb!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Brian Fletcher
- Once the chief winemaker for Evans & Tate, Brian is one of Margaret River’s greatest treasures — and ours! In 30+ years in the business, he’s collected over 50 Trophies and 100s of medals. He works with a trusted network of exceptional local growers who guarantee him the best fruit. “They're as important to the process as anything,” he says. “ It’s their grapes you are drinking and I’m the translator.”
- He’s also a wizz in European wine production, earned through back-breaking vintages in old wineries in Italy and Tunisia. In fact, it was during Brian’s 5-year stint in Italy that he truly found his wine feet and decided there was no other life for him.
- Even with a resume like his, getting Naked in 2012 was a big deal for Brian. It meant he could create his own wines in his own name and share them with big-hearted wine lovers like you. And the direct connection to chat with you is the icing on the cake!
