Adam first got into winemaking in 2001 and after a few years of hard graft for iconic brands like Wynns Coonawarra and Bonny Doon in the USA and Oz, he finally took the leap to go it alone in 2008. On his own, he made some absolutely stellar wines that got rave reviews from the critics and his new set-up was even named one of the Top 10 Best New Wineries by legendary Aussie wine boff James Halliday.
Then in 2012, Adam heard about Naked Wines and our mission to shake-up the wine industry. And the more he heard about how we work and our lovely Angels, the more he wanted to be a part of it. He popped us an email and the rest is history... since going Naked, Adam’s career has gone from strength to strength and he now wows over 300,000 UK Angels with top-quality exclusive wines. He’s eternally grateful for your support.
The reason Adam’s kit is so special is because of his attention to detail. He learned early on that to make the best kit you need the best fruit and that means knowing the vineyard intimately. Every single grape he uses is either from his own vineyard or from the close-knit family of local growers he’s worked with for over 10 years.

Glenn’s passion for wine was sparked at the tender age of 10, after he was put in charge of bottle-washing at his school’s annual wine fundraiser. All grown up, and having honed his craft at top-ranking Yarra Valley wineries - followed by stints in Italy, then King Valley and Rutherglen, Oz - he’s now got over 20 years’ experience under his belt, and since 2017 makes award-winning wines as chief winemaker at the sweeping Trifon Estate in Goulburn Valley, Victoria.
Goulburn Valley is a goldmine for premium Aussie wines and Glenn has access to some of the very best fruit at his Lagoon View vineyards. His grapes here benefit from nutrient-rich soils, pure spring water, and a cool (for Australia) climate, which allows him to produce elegant and complex wines that are full to the brim with fruit.
Glenn’s one of a number of Aussie winemakers who were hit hard by Chinese tariffs, leaving him with loads of premium nectar that might’ve gone to waste. Thankfully, our mates at Naked Australia came to the rescue, and now that he’s part of the Naked family, you get to enjoy his top-shelf wines too.

A winemaking veteran, Cristian leaves no stone unturned when it comes to his process. You’ll find him picking grapes, maintaining the vineyards, blending wine and everything in between.
Involved with legendary projects such as Calyptra and Valle Secreto, he has the key to creating delicious wines by championing Chile’s unique appellations.
Cristian fell in love with the Cachapoal Valley a while back: ‘What amazes me is the great diversity of terroir you can find along the valley. This has given me the opportunity to learn from each terroir and microclimate, making the experience winemaking very rich, challenging, and fun!’
