About the wine
- An elegant Pinot with a gentle touch. The Angels have been asking Bill & Claudia to make a New Zealand Pinot like this ever since tasting their amazing 2010 Sauv Blancs.
- The Smalls spent ages scouring the island looking for just the right vines, and they have struck gold! Mature vines on a sunny north-facing hillside in Marlborough, just screaming to be Naked.
- "Absolutely loved it, just what I've been looking for. Can't stop talking about it." said Angel Richard Coyne, we heartily agree!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Bill and Claudia Small
- Husband and wife team Bill and Claudia went it alone thanks to Angel funding over a decade ago. Since then, they've gone on to become Naked legends.
- Using your Angel funding, the Smalls have built close relationships with grape growers ‘in the bits of Marlborough they love’ to make lovingly crafted gems from some of the best fruit going.
- With you behind them, your King and Queen of Marlborough have gone from strength to strength. You’re the reason they make some of the highest-rated Sauvignons in the whole of New Zealand. Kudos to you.

This was our first ever Pinot Noir Christopher and I'm surprised that there's still any around. Really sorry to hear that it was off. Hope you can find something much nicer as a replacement
Cheers Bill

Good to hear Yvonne. Did you buy the wine recently? I think the wine was last available on the website some time in 2012 - and I note that you have New Angel alongside your name.
Cheers Bill

yes I was an Angel, dropped out, re-joined and found I still have a whole bunch of wines to rate. Because we keep these as "special" rather than the daily quaff, I tend to remember them and if I'm able, scribble notes in my wine notebook. I am generally looking for New Zealand wines as an expat Kiwi in London, I never go to friends empty handed and of course push New Zealand wines wherever possible. I also keep notes of winery locations with me, people going on holiday who might appreciate seeing something more hands on than the tour of a huge conglomerate like Montana.

A very nice wine, goes well with Kangaroo Steaks, as that is what I had it with, no nasty after taste, you can really taste the quality of it.

Thanks so much Caroline, thrilled you enjoyed our Pinot. I haven't had a kangaroo steak since we lived in Australia, funny (and delicious) to think of them all the way over in the UK! The new 2013 vintage of this wine is available on the site now, similar style but better fruit I think. Thanks so much for the support.

Thanks so much Vicky. I'm afraid that this wine is long gone but the new 2013 vintage is just about on the site. We are really pleased with the new wine and its made in a similar style to our 2011. Thanks so much for the support.

I really enjoy NZ Pinot Noirs and this was no exception. Not quite the intensity of flavour that I have experience with some but still a lovely bottle of wine

Thanks Timothy, glad you enjoyed it. Do give our new 2013 vintage a try when it comes on the site (should be pretty soon). We are really happy with how our Pinot style is developing. Thanks for the support.

Thanks so much Colin. Did you get a chance to try the 2012 before it sold out? I think our Pinots are definitely getting better each year. The 2013 version of this wine is currently on the boat over to you guys so should only be a month or two away. We had a bottle with our dinner on Saturday night, it was delicious! Anyway thanks for the support and for taking the time to post.

Nice and light and ironically like it a little chilled for my taste.
