About the wine
Refreshing zesty white from the Great Southern region of WA
- Riesling is all about the vineyard and terroir, and here’s a shining example of what the Great Southern can produce. Of course it helps that the winemaker is one of the best in the region!
- Well-established vines on rocky gravel are the parents of this crisp, zesty white. The outcome is a wine bursting with citrus and crisp green apple flavours and a whiff of citrus blossom. Flinty and finessed.
- Coby creates consistently fine wines from his corner of WA. This, his first Riesling for Naked, is a cracker and will delight those who love a dry, zippy white.
Best before
Drinking superbly now while fresh and clean. With careful cellaring over the next 8-10 years those aged Riesling characters will begin to show and all the time being balanced by the natural acidity.

Wine profile
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!
