Naked Wines announces £5million investment fund for winemakers

Online wine retailer Naked Wines, along with their network of 20,000 wine angels, has announced a £5million investment fund for talented winemakers looking to set up in business.

"We're looking to commission experienced, proven winemakers, who are looking to go it alone, to create stunning new wines for UK wine drinkers." explained Rowan Gormley, Founder of Naked Wines.

"And through the overwhelming support of our key investors, our community of Angel customers, we've been able to pledge a significant sum to launch the project.

We will cover production costs, pay a salary, guarantee an order, market the wines, pay a profit per bottle sold... In other words, provide all the tools an independent winemaker needs to create their own wine, under their own label, without the risks usually associated with being self-employed in the wine world.

All that remains is to raise awareness and get recruiting."

Interested winemakers can find out more about the project, and apply for a slice of the pie, at http://www.nakedwines.com/workwithus

"We're happy to hear from winemakers from all corners of the world, but agents and large wineries need not apply..."

This announcement follows the success of Naked Wines latest winemaking recruits, husband and wife duo Felipe Garcia and Constanza Schwarder, who launched their first solo vintage in the UK with the support and investment of Naked Wine Angels. The couple, who have worked for some of Chile's most prestigious wineries, have recently gone on to win two key accolades at this year's Wines of Chile Awards.
