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.
-
Kobie and Faisal’s Directors’ Reserve is from the New World region closest in style and profile to Bordeaux. So you get all the restraint and elegance you’d expect from a classic Bordeaux, but with a little extra ripeness from those long hot South African days. It’s perfectly balanced and everything’s in the right place.
-
Complex, rich and oh-so-elegant, aromas of ripe cassis, plum and cherry leap from the glass with tantalising hints of clove, nutmeg and liquorice. Every delicious sip is jam-packed with those same brooding dark fruits, with a delicious earthy spice on the finish, and a silky-smooth mouthfeel that’ll only get better with age.

Wine profile
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.
