Rocher de la Republique, Languedoc-Roussillon
A cracker of a white wine that offers an excellent alternative to those who love the aromatic vibrancy of Albarino. Medium bodied and fruity with a lush texture and juicy, ripe peaches, pears and apricots. There is no oak in this and it is all about the fruit intensity. This will pair well with cheese, thai dishes and shellfish.
The Val des Pins co-op was founded only 40 years ago and is a real find. The cooperative principles are based on delivering quality wines while respecting traditions, nature and the environment. The wines are extremely well-made and show unexpected intensity and purity of fruit. Perfectly digestible and balanced by bright freshness, their quality-price ratio is simply unbeatable.
A new one for us, this Sauvignon Blanc is gorgeously ripe and juicy with flavours of Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples backed up by irresistible juicy acidity. Enjoy this with or without food, its so versatile that it is one of the wines that can be enjoyed with a huge range of food. My personal favourite with this is to enjoy it with a roast chicken. Produced in Loire, which is the home town of Sauvignon Blanc, our house wine is easy to see why it is so popular.
This is so good and a must try for the adventurous soul!
This Hungarian Gruner Veltliner is a refreshing white wine with a moderate 12% alcohol content. Flavours of green apple, citrus zest accompanied by notes of stone fruits and white pepper and a lively acidity. What a great find this wine is ! It is perfect for all our Sauvignon lovers and represents great value.
This Hungarian Gruner Veltliner, is a perfect match for a wide range of foods. Its acidity and refreshing profile make it an excellent partner for light salads and its crispness complements fresh seafood like grilled prawns or delicate sushi.
Madregale Bianco is an organic white wine made in Abruzzo in Southern Italy.
This fresh and bright white captures the sunshine and the quality available in the south-eastern Italian coast. Made from a blend of Trebbiano with a small dash of Chardonnay, it is unoaked, naturally fermented and bottled to retain fruit characteristics and fresh acidity. Think orchard apples, juicy pears and lively tropical fruits with citrus acidity giving you far more than you'd expect from a wine at this price point.
Cantina Tollo is one of the largest co-operatives in the region of Abruzzo, with over 800 growers who, between them, have over 3200 hectares of vineyards. All of the growers are certified organic, as too is the winery itself. The range of land allows for some bottlings to label themselves as coming from a more specific sub-zones, like this one for example in the Terre di Chieti.
We love this wine so much. It is a serious crowd pleaser that will delight both Pinot Grigio and Albarino drinkers, with its soft texture, creamy mouthfeel and fleshy white orchard fruit flavours. The wine is produced from 85% Malvasia, an indigenous Spanish grape, with a small portion of Sauvignon and Chardonnay in the blend. I would recomment that everyone tries this wine, as it is sure to please. Rafael Cambra has spent most of his life in a vineyard. His philosophy is minimal intervention and he farms organic. His family own one of the most prestigious nurseries in Spain, with superstar clients like Vega Sicilia, Alvaro Palacios.
If you like Picpoul de Pinet, this bright and zesty Piquepoul is for you.
It it the same grape, but made in a different region. It is all about crisp citrus flavours, delicate floral notes, and a refreshing saline finish. Bursting with lemon zest, grapefruit, and white blossom, it has a lively acidity that keeps everything fresh and vibrant. The influence of the nearby Étang de Thau lagoon and cooling Mediterranean breezes gives this wine a sea-kissed minerality, making it the perfect coastal white.
Les Caves de Richemer is a historic cooperative winery located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Étang de Thau in Southern Languedoc. Their sustainably farmed vineyards sit on clay-limestone soils, ideal for preserving acidity and freshness in the warm coastal climate. Winemaker Florian Masson ensures that the Piquepoul is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, locking in its pure fruit expression and lively character.

An absolute gem of a wine shop! Michelle and Tony are incredibly knowledgeable and always go above and beyond to help. Their wine recommendations have never disappointed, and their customer service is top-notch. We love being part of their monthly wine subscription—it's introduced us to some truly fantastic wines we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. They also have a wonderful selection of wine gifts, perfect for any occasion. Highly recommend their business if you're a wine lover! 🍷👏
Was searching for a specific bottle/vintage which i knew wasn't going to be cheap anywhere i looked. I was really pleasantly surprised to find it here in Ireland and at the lowest price (by 15%+) compared to other sites in UK and EU. Have since used Nude Wines for further purchases, again at competitive prices. Good selection and orders made avaliable/delivered promptly and accurately.
Have been ordering from The Nude Wine Co. For a few years now and have never been disappointed. Regularly attend wine tasting events, always learn something new and get to try different wines that otherwise I would not. Their Wine Fair events are truly a treat. At one last week in Neighbourhood Naas. Some tasty nibbles to go with a multitude of wines, ports, bubbles on the night. Fantastic social night as always. I find Michelle and Tony super helpful with suggestions and always a delight to deal with.
A horrible wet day and dropped in to collect some wine, proprietors extremely friendly, jovial and knowledgeable. Had already pre purchased some wine but ended up doubling my order, this was not due to pushy sales staff but mainly down to Michelle's love of wines. A very pleasant experience overall.
I buy from Nude Wines frequently and absolutely love the selection of natural wines that they stock, which are sourced by small wineries and are absolutely delicious. The staff are so kind, helpful and friendly. Recently I bought a 6 bottle box of Malbec and the lady kindly wrapped some bottles of a gift. I strongly recommend if you like good-quality wine and want to support small business.
We bought the box of Autumn Velvet Reds after enjoying the Summer Velvet Reds. The wines are all lovely and it's great to try new wines knowing that we'll enjoy them as we're taken out of our comfort zone usuals
Amazing wines, I get the 6 bottles each month and each one has been amazingly delicious in it's own way. You can experience Michelle's knowledge in each taste as she has specially selected each wine. Michelle is a pleasure to deal with & I will remain a customer for years to come.
We received our order within a week. The service was top class. We're working our way gradually through the lovely wine selection. Each one is a delight and that little bit different to what's widely available. We will be placing more orders for sure!! I'd highly recommend the Nude Wine Company
I bought a monthly subscription package as Christmas gift and would highly recommend if you are looking for something a little different. The recipient looks forward to her delivery every month, which always arrives on time. She loves the accompanying tasting notes & description and it's a great talking point when we do meet up - it's truly the gift that keeps on giving!! Thanks Michelle & team.
Tony and Michelle are very helpful and obliging. I’ve shopped here many times and the delivery is always very prompt. Their recommendations excellent. And the website is very functional and easy to use. Very happy customer, I hope they stick around for as long as I’m drinking wine!
The Nude Wine Co is just fantastic! The best wine selection and beautiful sets of wine combinations for any occasion. Just love them! And on the top of everything - superb delivery!
Great company. Michelle & Tony really pick amazing wines. Their service is impeccable! Went to their Spring wine tasting event in Neighbourhood, Naas on Sat evening - fantastic event!!! Some really interesting wines as well as the old reliables. Food was a great idea too & the atmosphere was buzzing!
I just wanted to write and say how much my wife and I enjoyed the wine tasting event held in Lawlors of Naas. Michelle was a brilliant host and her enthusiasm and passion for the subject was clearly evident. We had a really great time! - very informative, relaxed and enjoyable We both came away with a better understanding of what to look for in a wine. It was our first time attending a tasting, but will not be the last. Thanks
