In my opinion this is one of the very best wines on the site, a wine that I have loved from the first vintage I tried (2013) and will continue to return to year after year. I wanted something outstanding to accompany a special meal of beef wellington (boeuf en croute), and so this is what I reached for from my wine fridge that provides a temperature controlled safe haven for my most valued stock. It was, as expected, a delight to drink, magnificently full bodied and yet so refined and balanced. For me the harmonious union of great wine with great food when both come together to compliment each other perfectly is joyous; this was such an occasion. And Katie, you were with us in spirit.

Rosé perfection? This is something pretty close, and ranks as one of the best rosé wines I have tried (which is quite a few). It’s a classy affair, similar in style to the rosé produced in neighbouring Provence, but with its own expression of freshness and flavour - plus a lower Languedoc price tag. A dry but still fruity wine, there’s strawberry and red fruit on the palate and a lovely creaminess to the texture that sort of coats your tongue. I absolutely love it. Virgile, you are to be congratulated for producing such a wonderful wine that is a pleasure & joy to drink. A truly great example of excellent rosé, thank you so much.

A more conventional review than the video recording posted by Father Christmas the other evening! This wine was made as a result of Angel votes during Naked's 'The Crush' poll earlier this year, and that support had been well truly vindicated in my opinion with a great wine. I do hope that lots of Angels will get behind it so that it's not a one off. This is the first time I've seen Petit Verdot used to make a rosé, and the result is striking & vibrant. There's lots of red fruit flavour featuring cherry, raspberry and strawberry. It's concentrated but without being over powering and an absolute joy to drink - leading aptly to the name 'Joie'. I love the design of the label too. The quantity produced is relatively small, so don't delay if you want to grab some. Now I know many of you still associate rosé with summer, but trust me - you can drink and enjoy this at any time of year. Just ask Father Christmas...

Benjamin Darnault Pique Nique Rose Magnum 2018

It has been a little while since I’ve had Ben’s rosé, but I won’t be leaving it so long again in future. The magnum free bottle in June presented the perfect opportunity to reacquaint myself with this wine, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Dry and crisp but with a fruity flavour profile of strawberry and red berry fruit, this made for both an excellent aperitif and then accompaniment for our barbecue this weekend. Delicious.

Richard's Swartland Rose 2018

£9.99

Well, this is a distinctively different rosé. My description has to start with the striking dark colour, which goes against the trend towards lighter pink shades in rosé following the Provence style. It’s not far off the colour of a light red, and you need to hold it to the light to see the translucence of the wine. Flavour wise there’s a depth and intensity approaching a red wine too, but with the softness of a rosé. Raspberry is the first discernible taste on the palate, and I think there’s cranberry in there as well. And whilst the fruit is prominent, it’s definitely a dry rosé. This is certainly well suited to drinking on its own, but as ever with rosé you can play around with food pairings and discover some great matches. This is particularly suited to such experimentation, as it’s robust enough to handle stronger flavours. I enjoyed this very much, and at £6.99 Anger price it’s something of a bargain.

Shared this magnum sized bottle with friends to accompany a steak dinner. Not as bold and full bodied as I was expecting, but an enjoyable easy drinker that was very smooth and full of red berry flavour.

Mauricio Lorca Lirico El Mirador Moscatel 2018

£9.99

I do enjoy Muscat as a grape variety, and I’ve also been known to be partial to a drop of rosé now and again, so felt this pink Muscat had to be right up my street. To a considerable extent it was, but I suspect the setting to enjoy this wine is key. Taking in the late afternoon sun with a chilled glass was ideal, and I can see this being well suited as an easy drinking aperitif for the summer months - particularly at a relatively low 8% ABV. It’s a very floral and fragrant wine, reminding me somewhat of the aromas of a Torrontes, although flavour wise it’s quite distinct with gentle stone fruit and very much in off-dry territory. It certainly doesn’t have the sweetness of a dessert wine, but if you’re not keen on anything approaching sweet this may not be suited to your tastes.

Wiley Rooster Rose 2018

£8.99

The strong demand for rosé wines has seen Naked steadily expand its range over the last 2 or 3 years, and this is another welcome new addition. All rosé is not the same, and it’s good we now have a choice of different styles and more consistent supply throughout the year from both northern & southern hemisphere winemakers. Rosé isn’t only a summer drink! Anyway, onto this particular rosé which is Merlot based. A very attractive pale pink colour in the glass, pleasant aromas on the nose and then soft strawberry flavours on the palate, it’s light, refreshing and very easy to drink, coming in at under 12% ABV. Whilst for sure this is a lovely wine to just pour and enjoy on its own, another great quality of good rosé wine is that it is very versatile for food pairing too. Seafood, salads, barbecued meats, right through to Asian cuisine - try it with your favourite take-away! Cock-a-doodle-do 😋

Joie Petit Verdot Rose 2018

£9.99

Read

To bust the myth that rosé is just a drink for summer, who you gonna call? Irene Paiva!! The joyous Joie has made its return in 2018 vintage guise, and it displays a lighter shade this year compared to the deep dark pink of its 2017 debut. There’s a subtle change in taste too, with a slightly lighter wine (last year’s was heading almost towards light red territory) with bright fruit of raspberry and redcurrant. I find these year on year variations in vintages a fascinating and endearing feature of buying wine from small producers, but anybody who enjoyed the 2017 should have no fear - this is just as good, but in a slightly different way. Get pink this winter people! 👍😋

Michaud Columbia Valley Riesling 2017

£12.99

This is yummy. Very fruity, with peach & and a bit of an exotic twist too, it’s off dry character makes it perfect for pairing with Asian cuisine. We had it with an Indian curry, but Thai or Chinese would work very well too. So now I’m going to mention the ‘S’ word - sweetness. I understand the residual sugar content is around 15g/l which is not technically a sweet wine, and hence the off dry description. But depending on your palate, it may taste relatively sweet - certainly in comparison to say German or Australian Riesling which is typically drier. Now for my taste this is not a problem at all, but if you are not keen on anything approaching sweetness in your wine then this may not be for you. But if you’re a fan of fruity & exotic whites then you should absolutely give this a try. I’ve immediately popped some more in my basket for my next order. #KatyisCool

Marcelo Bocardo Malbec 2018

£9.99

Always keen to support new winemakers to Naked, I actually had the more expensive £10.99 Gran Malbec 2017 in my basket, but sadly it went out of stock whilst I was waiting for the monthly free bottle to land before placing my March order. Undeterred, I swapped in its cheaper younger sibling. So, did I end up feeling short changed on quality at the lower budget? No, not at all - in fact I’d say the quality of this wine sets the bar pretty high and represents excellent value at £8.99. Allowing a couple of hours breathing time, and then pairing with rare fillet steak, we thoroughly enjoyed it. There was excellent depth of flavour, with plum and dark fruit, and a degree of complexity with distinct notes of chocolate too. I’ll be buying again for sure, and am still intrigued to try the Gran Malbec when it hopefully returns to stock, as it will be very good indeed if it tops this one.

Le Joly Rouge 2017

I specifically saved my bottles of this for entertaining dinner party guests as I wanted several of the same wine available. At the time of invitation we didn’t know whether we’d be making boeuf en croute to eat indoors or dining al fresco with a barbecue, but I was confident this would be a good match either way. As it happened the weather gods were kind, so it was the latter option. After a careful decanting exercise to ensure all the wine got at least a couple of hours to breathe before returning to the bottle to serve, I was ready to go. A little bit of sampling before guest arrival showed a medium bodied, relatively easy drinking wine with some tannin and dark cherry fruit flavour profile with a bit of spicy edge to the finish. It did indeed compliment the food very well which was a selection of steak haché burgers, marinaded pork spare ribs, and chicken kebabs. All our guests genuinely enjoyed the wine, and it was nice to have a story to tell about Virgile and Magda and the support for their new winery which I think added to the experience.

Small and Small Penelope Reserve Pinot Noir 2017

£19.99

Read

Naked has an excellent range of Pinot Noirs from various winemakers, and as I seem to be appreciating lighter styled reds of late I have drunk a number of them recently. This is my first time with the Small’s PN offering, and it certainly holds it own in the aforementioned company. Cranberry and red cherry flavour profile, with savoury notes and an elegant long finish, this was a wine that I enjoyed sipping at relatively slowly through Saturday evening. Certainly drinking well, but I wonder if it might have even more to offer with a bit more ageing in bottle.

F. Stephen Millier Black Label Red Angel Calaveras County Red Blend 2017

£16.99

Read

By my reckoning this is the 6th different wine I’ve had from Stephen’s range, with this one being brand new to the UK site from Naked’s US winemaker of the year. I’ve enjoyed each of his wines to date and this was no exception. I gave it a couple of hours decanting time, and found a pretty full bodied wine with lots of dark red fruit, notes of vanilla that others have mentioned, and a smooth but slightly chewy texture. It was certainly one to sip, savour and appreciate with different layers to it, rather than a more straightforward easy drinker.
