About the wine
'Merlot Me' South African style!
- With pops of juicy dark flavors like black plum and blackberry and a soft, long finish, this Merlot proves there’s more to South Africa than Shiraz.
- Jamie and Stephen found an ideal Merlot vineyard - planted in rich clay soils perfectly suited to this fickle variety – that they secured with your support. The grapes were hand harvested and gently pressed to preserve the wine’s dark, delicious flavors.
- This is a Merlot for fans and newbies alike – and the perfect accompaniment to hearty barbecue beef, grilled or roasted chicken and creamy cheeses.

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!
