Benjamin Darnault Minervois Liviniere Reserve 2008
About the wine
Fabulous find from France
- Benjamin is just about one of the most popular winemakers we have on the Naked list, and his wines have a tendency to fly off the shelf in a rather alarming, yet ever so pleasing, way.
- It's a Syrah and Carignan blend from La Liviniere and this is his Reserve blend, which has.big cassis fruit flavours, plus a lovely savoury, white pepper character.
- This is pretty much a go with anything meaty, but is particularly good with curries and with a Rogan Josh, it's pure heaven.

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.
