About the wine
Spectacular Bordeaux blend from the iconic Stellenbosch hills
-
Willie and Faisal pick the very best fruit from their finest vineyards in the Stellenbosch Hills to make this luxury Bordeaux blend. We’ve landed three vintages - from 2015 to 2017 - all at once, giving you the perfect chance to see how a wine ages.
-
The 2017 vintage is the youngest and freshest of the three. It’s a lot more like the ‘15 than the ‘16 with the same structure and balance, it’s just two years younger. In 2023 it’ll taste remarkably similar - like a fine aged Bordeaux.
-
On the nose it’s similar again. With those lovely aromas of cigar box and cedarwood but with more cassis on the palate. And as it ages, all those truffly, forest floor flavours will mature as well. If you like the 2015, this might be one to hold onto for a couple of years.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Kobie & Faisal
- Kobie was head winemaker at South Africa’s ancient Spier winery, with the oldest wine cellar in the land. Faisal was the business brains that transformed Spier into the nation’s most medalled winery in the 1990s.
- They bought a vineyard right next door to Spier, and for years sold them their grapes, which went into Spier’s top-of-the-range boutique wines.
- Angel backing now means they use their own grapes to make a range of game-changing wines that have become cult classics at Naked. If you like trying new wines that make you go, ‘where has this been all my life?’, you’ll love Kobie & Faisal.
