Santolin Aliferous Pinot Noir 2016
About the wine
Limited edition classic from Australia's Pinot Noir paradise
- One of the perks of (almost) scooping Naked Winemaker of the Year back in 2015, was the £50,000 Adrian & Rebecca Santolin got to make their dream Pinot Noir.
- To show their thanks they’ve made you something truly top-shelf. “It’s a big, bold wine that’ll age like a dream. One you can put away in your cellar and bring out for a truly special occasion.” They’ve even named it ‘Aliferous’ which means ‘winged’ in Latin, in homage to you lovely Angels.
- It’s powerful and complex with all the earthy, savoury yumminess you’d expect from a top-notch Pinot. With oodles of dark cherries and red berries locked in. A hint of spice, soft tannins, and oh god, it’s just perfection in a glass.
- To get the best out of this wine, Adrian & Rebecca recommend decanting it for 2 hours before drinking, add a Schott Zwiesel Decanter to your order and open up all the flavours whilst looking uber-impressive on your dinner table!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Adrian & Rebecca Santolin
- 10 years ago the Santolins were at a crossroads, trying to cobble together a living making hand-crafted wines with 1 small tank, 1 barrel, and a few barrow-loads of fruit. A sensible couple would have quit and bought a house. But they had a dream. And they got Naked.
- Our Boy Meets Girl duo chose to make their home in the famous Yarra Valley. It’s tricky there for small, independent winemakers as mega corporations buy up the area’s top notch grapes. Angel funding meant Adrian and Rebecca could pay growers upfront and get their hands on the best fruit possible to make their deliciously moreish wines.
- Three kids, 12,000 followers and heaps of awards later, they’re still living that dream and hand-crafting some of the most delicious artisan wines down under. All thanks to you, and the power of Angel crowd-funding.
