Kruger Family Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2021
About the wine
Johan's delicious Cab Sav-Merlot blend is a massive win-win for you and SA's Covid-affected grape-growers
-
When Naked legend Johan Kruger heard one of his top grape-growers was struggling due to the SA lockdowns, he made this special new Cab Sav-Merlot blend in partnership with him, to help see his mate through the tough times while treating you to a super-delicious wine. Win-win.
-
Take one sniff of this and you might think you’re in Bordeaux. It hits you straight away with those lovely ripe cassis aromas, with a hint of earthy complexity and enticing nutmeg spice. On the palate it’s a perfect balance of juicy red and black fruit, lots of rich blueberries, blackberries, plums and mulberries, with super-silky tannins.
-
This is a real classy red with bags of complexity. So to enjoy it at its full potential, make sure you crack the top off an hour or so before opening and grab the biggest glass in your arsenal. Then pour yourself a glug, give it a big old swirl, sniff and sip… you’ll be in dreamland.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Johan Kruger
- When Johan started Kruger Family Wines in 2015, he’d just chucked in a safe Stellenbosch job to follow his dream. Money was tight so he could only rent a place to make his own wines, and was spending a ton of time on the road selling them. A total waste of his time and talent.
- Then we got a tip-off from South African legend Bruwer Raats. He said Johan was just the kind of insanely talented, up and coming winemaker Naked was born to champion. We signed him up, gave Angels access to his wines, and boom! It was love at first sight (on both sides).
- Angel support is helping Johan to plant new vineyards, expand his winery and kit it out with even bigger and better barrels, raising his whole operation. He’s been humbled, and truly gobsmacked, by all the love and support Angels have shown.
