About the wine
Fresh and smooth Merlot meets velvety delicious Malbec
- All the time we are searching for new alternatives for Angels. For that reason we decide to make our traditional Merlot again, but this time with a little twist.
- We were thrilled when Naked agreed to support us with the money to create this new wine for Angels.
- Merlot always is a great wine for food paring, fresh and smooth, but all the time we are looking for a "special touch" in this case the Malbec brings a delicious velvety texture and juicy black fruit. This blend is a perfect example of the wine that we enjoy drinking in the evenings. Felipe, Winemaker

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.
