About the wine
Soft and plush Merlot with a rocking redheaded touch
- I've used grapes from three different vineyards, including one elevated site in the Strathbogie Ranges, to make my Rebel Merlot. Each parcel was handled, fermented and matured in oak separately from the others, before finally blending and bottling.
- This is a special wine - I blended it with the Aussie Archangels! Along with the rest of my Rebel range this is a flavoursome wine with that typical Jen Pfeiffer "muscle" along with the softness and plushness that makes Merlot so appealing.
- My Rebel Merlot has a beautiful ruby red, purple colour, with ripe plum and cherry flavours with a touch of mint. It's rich, rounded and smooth with a finish that will keep you coming back for more!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Jen Pfeiffer
- Back in 2012, during a trip to Oz, Sam Plunkett insisted we paid a visit to his friend ‘the girl with the superstar palate’. The bad news was she was busy judging at a wine show but we were patient and the second we finally got to meet Jen, we just knew it was meant to be.
- Energetic, passionate and oh-so talented, Jen grew up in a winemaking family and fell in love with the industry from a young age! She travelled widely, learning her craft at many of the great wineries in France and Portugal before returning to the family winery with a desire to really push the boundaries
- Our ‘Rock it like a Redhead’ star has won hundreds of medals and was also crowned your Winemaker of the Year in 2015 so it’s safe to say she was definitely worth the wait!

Had a 2nd bottle of this and really enjoyed it, so suspect something wasn't right with the first one, back on my would buy again list! - This definitely improves a lot when it's given time to breathe. Complex and deep flavour, but not really to my taste even though it improved the longer it was open.

G'day again Darren,
I'm so pleased to hear the second bottle of my Rebel Merlot was a winner, and that it's back on your buy again list - HOORAY!! Thank you for the four hearts of love :-)
I agree with your suspicions that it must have been a bad bottle, occasionally a wine can spoil in transit, it doesn't happen often, but it can happen.
I can't wait to see which Jen wine is next on your list Darren, keep on rocking it like a redhead!
Cheers, Jen.

Not my absolute favourite wine from the Naked range but an enjoyable wine with a roast dinner nevertheless.

G'day Ryan,
Thanks for taking my Rebel Merlot out for a spin, I'm glad it was enjoyable with your roast dinner, even if it didn't make favourite status. It's a full bodied style of Merlot, and really opens up nicely with a couple of hours breathing time in the decanter before serving.
I'd love to recommend another Jen wine or two to you Ryan, what other styles do you enjoy? Drop me a line and let me know what you like, I'll do my best to point you in the right direction.
Cheers, and rock it like a redhead, Jen.

I like this wine. I don’t drink enough to warrant pre-order but sure I’ll be looking for a couple of bottles as part of a future order.

I really appreciate your support of me and my wines Liz, never stop rocking it like a redhead!! Look forward to chatting again soon.
Cheers, Jen.

G'day Susan,
Thanks for giving my Rebel Merlot a go, particularly since you're not really a fan of the variety. I'm sorry my Rebel couldn't convince you.
I make a few different wines for the virtual shelves Susan, what styles do you normally enjoy? Drop me a line and I'd love to recommend a Jen wine to you to suit your palate better :-)
Cheers, and rock it like a redhead, Jen.

G'day Jason,
Lovely to hear from you again and thank you for stretching your Angel wings to another one of my wines, I'm so pleased my Rebel Merlot was enjoyable :-) HIGH FIVES for the four hearts of love!!
My Rebel Merlot often surprises Angels, it's a full bodied style with plenty of flavour, I call it a Merlot with muscle.
I'd love you to treat yourself to a bottle of my Diamond Merlot next Jason, it's one of the jewels in my collection. Pop a bottle in your basket, decant before serving, and let me know what you think!
Cheers, and rock it like a redhead, Jen.

G'day Richard,
Thanks for giving my Rebel Merlot a go, I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it. Did you decant before serving? I find young reds open up beautifully with some time in the decanter, and hour or two helps release the aromas and flavours, and softens the tannins. Either way, please get in touch with the Happiness Team for a credit, we all want you to love your wines here at Naked!
I'd love to recommend a different Jen wine to you Richard, what styles do you normally enjoy? Drop me a line and let me know what you like, I'll do my best to point you in the right direction.
Cheers, and rock it like a redhead, Jen.

G'day Stuart,
I can feel the LOVE all the way Down Under!! BIG thanks for the 4.5 hearts of love for my Rebel Merlot, I'm so glad you enjoyed it :-) It is a smooth and fruit driven style, it's full of flavour and really mouth-filling, it often surprises Angels that it's Merlot!
I agree with you, it's a very versatile food wine, I particularly love it with Italian dishes, but it's equally at home sipped with nothing at all, it's so smooth and velvety.
I hope you'll keep enjoying my collection of wines Stuart, I can't wait to see which Jen wine is next, and pop in a follow for me too, I'll keep you posted on the goings on in my wine world.
Cheers, and rock it like a redhead, Jen.

I will say that the wine is not to our taste and would not buy it again as there are other wines at this price point that knock it out of the hat
