About the wine
Carlos has made a tiny amount of this deliciously intense white as a special thank you
- This wine was born as a small production I started to make to be enjoyed with my family and friends. I started to share a few bottles with Archangels a few years ago as a present for them - so I called this wine Thank You to thanks them for funding me!
- This year I asked Naked to fund me to make a little bit more, so I could share my interesting and exclusive, almost homemade wine with Angels.
- I hand selected Macabeo and Malvasia de Rioja grapes to make a white wine that would age well for a year in oak barrels. The result is a deliciously intense white wine with floral and honey aromas, with a lingering vanilla and oak finish.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Carlos Rodriguez
-
Before joining the Naked family, Carlos Rodriguez was a leading consultant oenologist. In plain English? He travelled all over Spain helping other people make their wines taste amazing. Despite his success, his ultimate dream was to fund his own winery – although he used to joke he’d need to rob a bank to get the cash.
-
His life changed in 2010 when someone forwarded him an email from us. He almost deleted it thinking it was spam, but luckily he didn’t and, as he puts it, "the rest is history". Carlos became a Naked legend and achieved the dream he always thought impossible – opening his own winery and making his own wines. All because of people like you.
-
Best known for his knock-out Riojas, Carlos uses his insider knowledge from years spent on the road to snaffle up the absolute best parcels of grapes Spain has to offer. And when he isn't crafting those award-winning Riojas? He swaps his winemaking hat for "dad duty," spending his weekends cheering on his kids at the football pitch.
