$288.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Aldo (Steven’s father) tended to a small vineyard in the Barossa his entire life with great care and consideration to produce the highest fruit quality. The 2020 Grenache ‘The Aldo’ was produced from Grenache from that vineyard. The vines are about 79 years old and are dry grown. The fruit was hand harvested and crushed into open fermenters with a small parcel going through natural fermentation. After 14 days on skins the wine was basket pressed to older French oak barriques for maturation. We bottle The Aldo early to capture the fresh fruit characters.

The 2020 Aldo Grenache is a deep cherry red colour with purple hues.

The wine shows lifted raspberry, plum, confectionary and spice aromas. The palate is rich with a well rounded mouth feel with excellent intensity and length, dark fruits dominate.

About Naked Run Wines

Born and raised in the Barossa Valley, the wine industry has always been a big part of Steve’s life. From an early age he ‘worked’ in his family’s small vineyard at Williamstown, which ultimately lead to a career in the wine industry. In 2003, after finishing an Oenology degree and a Viticultural diploma at the University of Adelaide he joined the team at Pikes Wines in Clare where he is now the Senior Winemaker. He is passionate about making wine and particularly loves working with Riesling, a variety well suited to the Clare Valley. His approach to winemaking is careful management in the vineyard and minimal winemaking intervention, allowing him to capture and showcase specific vineyard sites in every wine he makes. In late 2005 Steve and his wife Laura purchased a small vineyard in Sevenhill which grows Riesling, Shiraz and Cabernet fruit. They live on the property with their three children Mason, Buddy and Evie.
