Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
Adam's flagship Reserve Shiraz
-
Adam describes his Icon Reserve Shiraz as the pinnacle of his winemaking. He only produces a teeny-tiny amount each year, seeking to create a wine that is true to its vintage, region and his style.
-
It’s made using select parcels of high-quality fruit from three of Australia’s most revered Shiraz growing regions. The Barossa Valley for opulence and intensity, McLaren Vale for powerful fruit flavours and firm tannins that give the wine complexity and backbone, and Clare Valley for concentrated fruit with elegant flavours, structure, and acidity, giving balance to the richness of the Barossa & McLaren Vale.
-
Overall it’s a rich and powerful red with intense aromas of blackberry, plum and dark chocolate, with hints of vanilla, cedar, mint and anise. The opulent palate of rich forest fruits is supported by tobacco, mocha and sweet spice. While the rich texture, soft tannins and powerful structure lead to a lingering finish.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Adam Barton
-
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.

Not normally a fan of Australian syrah ( not shirax, please?) but this was very very smooth
Great Shiraz! Top wine defineatly decant for an hour- it opens up
tooooo easily drunk xx
A really great, powerful Shiraz. Loads of flavour and fruit means that it easily handles the high alcohol content.
Big, juicy, sophisticated. All the things a shiraz should be
Delicious - beautiful wine

Shiraz, turned up to 11. Deep, rich, fruity, but not too sweet. Good tannins and a fantastic wallop of spice. Need to buy a case and see if it's possible that this wine can get any better with age..... Edit: 12 more on the way!

Ha! Love this edit!!! Thanks for your support Graeme. Cheers AB
