About the wine
German Pinot Noir with the best of both worlds
- If you like the super-clean fruit of a New World Pinot, and the rustic charm of an Old World one, then this bottle has your name on it
- Archangels picked this wine over Pinots 2-3 times its price in a blind tasting at Naked HQ, so we knew we were onto a winner.
- This one needs a bit of breathing time after opening, but your patience will be richly rewarded when you get to experience the incredible depth and fruitiness of this wine come to life. It’s a perfect choice for a night in front of the fire so snuggle up and enjoy!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gerd Stepp
- We found Gerd by accident when we were looking for a top German Pinot Noir and a friend suggested Gerd’s. It came first in a blind tasting of 26 Pinots by Naked Archangels so we bought the lot and ever since Gerd has been making us some of the classiest German wines we’ve ever stocked.
- Naked funding now plays a huge part in his business, because his family vineyard in Pfalz is quite small, so he has to work with 20 other local growers. Being able to pay upfront gives them security, and allows Gerd to plan ahead and secure the best fruit.
- With 30 years in the wine industry, he’s travelled widely and made award-winning drops in dozens of different countries. He’s also a respected wine consultant, flying all over the world advising other wine producers. Decanter first snapped him up as a judge in 2004 and he regularly gets invited back to their Annual Wine Awards so it’s safe to say this guy really knows his stuff!

Enjoyed this very much.
loved it
Disappointingly acidic....slightly fizzy. We don't think we tasted this wine at its best unfortunately
great pinot noir
Elegant and rounded pinot noir. Perfect with chicken. I'm not a huge burgundy fan but I love this!
I enjoyed this wine on its own and with food
Gerd Stepp’s Pinot Noir *8* has been one of my favourite wines since the 2012 hit the site, and this vintage is no exception. Intense and smooth, with cherry and raspberry fruit, low/medium acidity, rounded off with a slight earthiness.
Another winner. Cheers Gerd!
Really nice PN. Enjoyed this with Lamb in a lettuce wrap
Easy drinking Pinot with strawberries, blackberries and a little earthy spice. Really like it!
