Naked wines are not aged in barrels, but rather in stainless steel containers. Aging wine in barrels is meant to allow some of the barrel's own contents to seep into the wine, leading to the definitive "oak" taste. Naked wines are often advertised for their purity, with no additional ingredients.
Smell: light smell, like a freshly peeled orange. Like an air freshener packet that's just the right intensity.
Taste: The naked processing leads to better aftertaste than its oaky counterparts. Peach and pineapple flavors that cover the palate but aren't tangy. Good, but other wineries have probably done a better job of taking the edge off.
Verdict: 3.75/5
