About the wine
Merlot...South African style
- With juicy dark flavors like black plum and blackberry, all pulled together with a soft, long finish, this Merlot proves there's more to South Africa than Shiraz.
- Thanks to your support, Jamie and Stephen found an ideal Merlot vineyard, hand-harvested these delicate grapes and perfectly preserved the wine's dark, delicious flavors.
- This Merlot strikes the right notes for fans and newbies alike — the perfect pairing to hearty barbecued beef, grilled or roasted chicken, and a cheeseboard with creamy, rich styles.

Meet the winemaker - Stephen & Jamie de Wet
The de Wet’s are one of the longest-serving and most successful winemaking families in Robertson Valley. With your funding, they’ve built a world-famous brand in Arabella – and the highest-rated, best-selling regional Reserve Cab in Naked history.
Stephen’s made wine from the family vineyard since the tender age of 17 and he’s passed his passion onto son Jamie, who now makes wines hand-in-hand with Dad at the de Wet’s 16th-generation family farm.
...and thanks to Angels, the de Wet boys make more crowd-pleasing Arabella wines than pretty much all your winemakers put together. To be precise – in a stacking contest, the total number of wines they’ve made for you beats the height of 226 Everests. Talk about the peak of a career!
