Kruger Family Elements Magnum 2021
About the wine
A deluxe 1.5L double helping of Johan Kruger's legendary Bordeaux blend
-
Johan’s bestselling Elements was one of the first wines he ever made for Angels… and it’s still topping Angel Christmas lists 7 years later. So as a special thank you for your amazing support, he’s made a special magnum version of this deep and decadent South African red as a big Christmas treat.
-
It’s a first-class example of a five-varietal Bordeaux blend - with the dark, brooding fruit of Cabernet Sauvignon, the lush plums and mulberries of Merlot, the silky-smooth texture of Malbec, tantalising spice from the Cabernet Franc, and lovely perfume characters from the Petit Verdot. All rolled into one perfect 1.5L package, with a Christmas bow on top.
-
Packed full of rich fruity flavours and sumptuous layers of complexity, all wrapped up in a warm oaky hug, it’s bold and generous on the palate with oodles of lush blackberries and dark cherries with a hint of mocha and cinnamon spice - like a cosy Christmas cuddle in a glass.

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.
