About the wine
Constanza Claus is giving you a monster 1.5L gift of the UK's most loved Christmas wine
- When Connie Schwaderer found a prime vineyard full of pristine old vine Malbec grapes about to be snapped up by one of Chile’s most famous wineries. We told her to nab the lot. She transformed these grapes into one of the most delicious wines she's ever made... and now it's a bumper 1.5L Magnum, ready to make your Christmas table sparkle.
- Smooth, sumptuous and bursting with bags of juicy black fruit, this deliciously ripe and concentrated Gran Reserva is as big and round as Santa’s belly. The nose is crammed with blackberries, sweet spice, coffee, dark chocolate, lush smoky notes… all the smells of Christmas.
- Perfect with Christmas roasts, pigs in blankets, hot sausage rolls and festive cheese boards, Malbec is the UK’s most loved Christmas wine. Reserva is even better. Gran Reserva better still. Connie’s Gran Reserva, best of all.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Constanza and Mariane Schwaderer
-
To growers back home in Chile, Connie’s a bit of a folk hero: she backs tiny vineyards, pays fairer prices, and fights for old-school Chilean varieties farmed the traditional way. That rebel streak got her the sack at a big winery (their loss) but turned out to be her making. Angels funded her first vintage, and she’s been part of the Naked story since the beginning (fun fact: she was literally our first-ever winemaker).
-
Marianne is Connie’s half-sister and these days, very much her partner-in-crime. They grew up apart (Connie in Chile, Marianne in Europe) but in 2011, after a Naked Tasting Tour, Connie visited Marianne in Berlin. That trip sparked a tradition of joyful summer reunions – until the sisters realised their strengths were perfectly matched and decided to join forces.
-
Connie’s wines have always been about showing what Chile can do when you treat the fruit (and the people who grow it) properly. They’re high-quality and ridiculously drinkable – the kind Angels come back for again and again. Now her winemaking vision is amplified by Marianne’s creative flair. Giving even more reasons to fall in love with the wines and the women behind them.
