About the wine
A classic Barossa red with a distinctive, evocative style
This special single vineyard wine hails from the Light Pass sub-region of the upper central Barossa Valley, known for elegant wines bursting with pure fruit flavour and fine tannins.
A uniquely Australian red with an evocative style, Caroline has given this traditional Barossa variety a modern twist. Get ready for concentrated berry flavours with a touch of spice - a rich expression of its regional roots.
This powerful yet graceful wine is dripping with juicy black brambly fruits, dark chocolate and black spice, and a long, luscious tannin grip. An iconic, beautifully-made Barossa Shiraz at an exceptional price - you gotta love being Naked!
Best before
On release, this bright, modern wine features generous fruit and a smooth, textural palate with a fine tannin line throughout. With careful medium to long term ageing it will develop an integrated complexity and softening of the tannins. Drinking at its peak within 3 to 5 years, it will age well for a decade or more.
Serving advice
While not essential to this wine's enjoyment, allowing it to breathe for 30 minutes before drinking will more fully express its natural character. Serve at room temperature, or in warm weather allow to chill for 20-30 minutes in the fridge.
Food match
Miso-roasted eggplant; gnocchi with black olive tapenade; rack of lamb with spiced beetroot; or chargrilled beef fillet with crispy leeks.
