About the wine
Wine Advisor's Top Tip
- This Syrah/Grenache blend comes from an area in Saint Chinian which dates from the Cambrien period - and has some of the oldest soils in the world.
- The old soils prove perfect for winegrowing. Acidic and poor, this soil gives finesse and elegance to the wines.
- Drink this spicy rich red now. That's what Benjamin says, and we always listen to Benjamin!

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.
