Dark ruby. The nose is deliciously peppery and spicy with ripe red plums, black raspberries, roasted lamb with a few roasted herbs. There is great depth and complexity on the palate with a medium-bodied weight and just enough acidity to freshen things up. It is a perfect balance of savory and fruity.

The entire world’s evolution in 2020 coincided with Colin & Jen having a lot of time to think about the direction of SYP. They had wavered at times of being committed to it or putting more energy into other projects, namely the family estate of Adelina. Fortunately for all Punks fans they used the ‘quiet time’ of 2020 to capture new energy and gave Punks a facelift. ‘Naked’ remains a Shiraz & Mataró (AKA Mourvèdre) blend and again from McLaren Vale. The label captures the honest and stripped down personality of the wine. The Shiraz component comes from the same clay-rich vineyard as ‘Passion’. The Mataró from light, free-draining loamy soils in McLaren Flat. Think of the new face of Punks as forbidden fruit of sorts.
