We’re buzzing here at Naked HQ. For starters, it’s finally Spring! The promise of longer days, warmer weather and tiny little buds about to burst on the vines is upon us. PLUS we have the biggest Naked event of the year happening this month, a brand new podcast with a winemaking dynamo, new faces at Naked HQ and an Australian-first wine + Spotify integration. Can you have too much of a good Spring?
Cheers 🍷

Sarah, we’re thrilled Hamish Maguire’s Shiraz Tempranillo brought you to tears… of happiness! We hope you have your tissues on hand because a 6-pack of Hamish’s wines is on the way.
Don’t forget to rate your wines! We’ll pick our favourite and the Angel who wrote it will receive a mixed 6-pack from that winemaker. So, you’ll not only get more personalised recommendations to ensure you always drink great wine, you could win more of the wine you love!

Grabbed your ticket to the Naked Tastings event yet? This year, our annual tour is bringing 40 of our talented winemakers together in THREE locations over THREE massive nights! It’s a chance for winemakers to say thanks to Angels for their loyal support and for Angels to meet the winemakers and taste 90+ exclusive wines. Tickets to our Brisbane event went faster than a toupee in a cyclone, but there are limited spots left at our Sydney (24 Sept) and Melbourne (26 Sept) events.

Listen & learn about organic, biodynamic viticulture

In our ninth episode, you’ll get to know one of the finest practitioners of organic winemaking in Australia, Ben Gould. From his vineyard in Margaret River WA, Ben is pushing the boundaries on nurturing new vines and techniques, bringing organic, biodynamic and sustainable practices into all areas of his winemaking to help ‘leave the world a better place than when you arrived’.

Say hi to our new Chief, Alicia!
|
|
Eagle-eyed Angels may have noticed a new name popping up here and there – it’s our new Naked Chief, Alicia Kennedy! She’s been busy racking up the frequent flyer points visiting winemakers around Australia and is pumped to meet Angels in person at our Tastings events in September.

Q: What do wine and Spotify have in common?
|
A: Naked winemaker, Paul Nelson! According to Paul, wine is life, music is life, and food is life, and Paul’s latest releases have nailed this trifecta in what we believe is an Australian first. All ‘PN’ labels have a unique Spotify code you can scan to listen to a music playlist that pairs perfectly with the wine. Why let wine + food pairings have all the fun?
