Wine profile
It’s a modern fruity white
Zingy, tropical, lemon and lime flavours all in one, like a big bowl of fresh fruit salad. Mmm.
We reckon you’ll also love similar refreshing grapes like Albarino, Verdejo and Gruner Veltliner – can’t wait to show you!
About the wine
This grown up, top class Sauvignon is perfect for a little midweek sophistication.
The grapes Kobie’s used to make this wine were bought with Angel money. So, of course, it’s only fair you get to buy the end result at a jolly decent price. We like to think of it as a never-ending circle of back scratching.
We like to think of this as the rather good-looking lovechild of new and old world Sauvignon, with a little something for everybody. Bags of minerality, clean on the palate and fresh as a dew drop covered daisy.
An intense gooseberry kick in the finish tells you that this is a grown up, top class wine. Try a little midweek sophistication for yourself – at this price, it’d be rude not to.
Meet the winemaker
Kobie and 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.
