Kruger Family Old Vines Chenin Blanc Magnum 2022
About the wine
Johan's world-class Old Vines Chenin Blanc - now in a super-sized 1.5L package
- Johan has made you the perfect winter white. It's rich, full of flavour, and can handle anything you fancy throwing at it over the Christmas period - roast tatties, pigs in blankets, mega cheeseboards… the works. There's a reason why Angels have rated every single vintage over 90%.
- It’s complex on the nose, with exotic tropical fruits, pears and peaches, a refreshing grassiness and a light touch of oak. And it’s generous on the palate, with the concentration, complexity and length you only get with old vine wines. As Johan says… “It’s the perfect wine to share with loved ones over the festive season.”
- You’d struggle to find a winemaker more grateful for Angel support than Johan. Since joining Naked, you’ve helped his business go from strength to strength, backing him to make the sort of dream wines he always wanted to make. Your FREE Magnum is his bumper Christmas gift back to you.

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.
