About the wine
If wines were celebrities, Ben's Châteauneuf would be on the A-list
- Famed for its luxurious Grenache blends, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a prestigious part of the Rhone Valley that produces one of the world's most sought-after styles of red wine.
- Ben's is packed with flavours of ripe raspberries and cherries with a hint of spice, and notes of darker fruit lingering tantalisingly on the finish. At once it's both rich and powerful, yet elegant and fresh. This is a proper special occasion wine perfect for an anniversary.
- It's delicious now but will become even more delectable with time, if you're patient. If you can't resist, make sure to decant it to reveal all its wonderful flavours.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Benjamin Darnault
- When Ben left a safe winemaking job in Australia to move back to France with his young family in the noughties, at first he really struggled. The financial crash of 2007/08 clobbered the winery he was working at, so they had to let him go. He couldn’t catch a break.
- That was until Angels freed Ben from the corporate fat cats and transformed his livelihood. Thanks to Angels, Ben was finally able to set up on his own and realise his lifelong dream of putting his own name on the label. Even better, he had an advance on his next vintage!
- With Angel support, Ben has been able to invest more, source even better fruit and establish strong relationships with local growers to improve the quality of his delicious wines year-on-year. With thousands of rave reviews, he’s a bonafide Naked icon.
