To our wonderful Naked followers,

I wanted you to be some of the first to know that things have changed a little around our place...

Not the least of which... We have a shiny new name: Fowles Wine!

Sam Plunkett has decided to become master of his own destiny and, fingers crossed, a Master of Wine. I look forward to watching him succeed!

On the other hand, my team and I have been busy in the vineyard doing everything we can to ensure an outstanding vintage. Yields look to be light, so I am tipping a great year if the weather holds...

We have some more exciting news which will break soon - we are planning to launch a new range of wines that fall under the Ladies who Shoot their Lunch range... A prize for the first who can guess what it will be called?

Hope you're all well!

Best, Matt

We hope you all have a fantastic festive season and thanks for the support over the last year! Lets hope 2012 brings an end finally to the worlds financial troubles. Best wishes, from all at Arabella.

To all our Naked friends,

Wishing you the very best for the festive season!

We have been incredibly busy in the vineyard. It is looking like small yields this vintage so definitely a win for the winemakers!

We've been busy in the winery too - our Stone Dwellers Riesling has now won three golds and a Trophy which is nice recognition for hard work! We are bottling the 2011 Ladies who Shoot their Lunch Chardonnay this week.

Doesn't look like we'll get a break over Christmas.

Have fun and drink well!

Cheers, Matt

Thanks to the Archangels for the nomination and of course to ALL our Angels for your continued support. I really believe I should be voted winemaker of the year because of the effort I put in, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, to make really good wines at affordable prices. This is our passion at Arabella; we want all our Angels to have a great drinking experience without it costing an arm and a leg! All the best, Stephen and family.
