About the wine
A classy Pinot from a hidden gem of a region!
- An organically managed vineyard of 30-yr old, low yielding vines was the birthplace of this smooth and sophisticated Pinot Noir.
- Once into the winery, the small batches of grapes were each fermented in a different fashion to give Young Gun Coby lots of options for his final masterpiece. He’s also used some lovely French oak barrels to add interest and harmonise to the wine.
- This ruby rascal smacks of cherries with a touch of earthiness and a lot of funky goings on in the background! It’s a luscious mouth-coating wine that will reward you with a long, satisfying finish.
Best before
Grab a couple of bottles and drink now because it is hard to resist but if you have patience it will reward over the next 8-10 years with good cellaring.
Serving advice
Allow it to breathe for half an hour prior to drinking.
Food match
Pinot Noir and duck is such a delicious pairing. I also really like a mushroom risotto as it pairs with the slight funky, earthy profile of Pinot.

Meet the winemaker - Coby Ladwig
Brought up in the southern wilds of Western Australia, Coby spent endless hours amongst the vineyards where his Mum worked. It was no surprise he was headed for the winemaking life! With a degree under his belt, he returned to his hometown “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.”
Over the next sixteen years, he used his silky winemaking skills to help the stunning West Cape Howe, Singlefile and Rockcliffe wineries earn 5-Star ratings from wine critics far and wide. And in 2017, he earned a Top 50 spot on the highly regarded Young Gun of Wine list.
- In 2018, thanks to the support of Angels, Coby became a liberated Naked winemaker with the freedom to handcraft small-volume boutique wines, just for you. And the same remains true today, “We always want to over deliver. It’s really exciting to be part of the Naked wines community,” he says with pride!
