Urban and Eva unite to make biodynamic wines in Germany's historic Rheingau

Urban and Eva Kaufmann’s story is something out of the movies. When they met in 2012, he was a rising star cheesemaker and she was the director of Germany’s largest wine organization. Within 2 years, they jumped headfirst into their winemaking life.
Eva had her heart set on becoming a winemaker and Urban was a wine lover, so they combined their savings to buy a winery in the heart of Germany’s historic Rheingau wine region, famous for its exquisite Rieslings.
They’ve already made their mark – converting the winery to biodynamic practices, replacing old oak barrels for stainless steel tanks, and winning praise from experts. Now it’s your turn to taste their first-class Rheingau wines.
- Pénélope landed a research and development role at THE Château Latour – one of Bordeaux’s First Growth estates – after an international wine education. She was a cellar hand for Craggy Range (New Zealand) and worked her way up to Assistant Winemaker at Tenuta Argentiera (Italy), before returning to her beloved France.
- At Château Latour, she took part in the adventure of storied French estates like Northern Rhône’s Château-Grillet and Burgundy’s Domaine d'Eugénie – honing her winegrowing and winemaking skills to craft iconic reds and whites.
- She thought she’d made it big then, but these days, she’s the Head Winemaker at Château Siaurac in Bordeaux’s Lalande-de-Pomerol – an estate vineyard in the continuity of the famous plateau of Pomerol. It’s a new peak – especially now that she can share the best Right Bank wines for Angels to enjoy.

- Laetitia was born into France’s most acclaimed region, Pauillac – the famous Left Bank Bordeaux subregion home to 3 of Bordeaux’s 5 Premier Cru (First Growth) estates (Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Latour) – the high roller’s club.
- Since 2013, Laetitia’s been the Head Winemaker at La Rose Pauillac – a winery cooperative with 25 growers, producing Cabernet Sauvignon-based blends from vineyards they tend to in an ancestral way like gardens.
- Angel support can prevent the vineyards of La Rose Pauillac from going into the hands of the grand Châteaux. “Naked Wines is very important to us because it keeps La Rose Pauillac alive and it allows us to continue,” she said. You can keep Bordeaux indie - by supporting her wines!

Bruno was born into a Bordeaux wine family, so Bordeaux has been in his heart and soul since day 1. Traditions run strong – when he and his brothers finished school, they returned to the family estate and never left.
Bruno’s parents assumed ownership of their first estate in 1950. Since then, the Fontanas have acquired 14 estates across Bordeaux – including Château Clou du Pin in 1991 (on the hillsides of the Gironde only about 10 miles from famous St. Émilion!) – where Merlot is king. All of the estates are lovingly tended to by Bruno and his family.
With Angels in his corner, Château Clou du Pin and the other estates will not only survive, but thrive. Your support ensures the Fontanas’ place in Bordeaux winemaking history.

A Médoc native in the iconic Left Bank of Bordeaux, Jérôme has been making wine since 1998. He grew up surrounded by viticulture and winemaking at his family’s estate – Château du Moulin Neuf.
He had classic French wine training before interning in Australia – where he studied winemaking in extreme weather conditions. That proved perfect for his return to Château du Moulin Neuf, where he assumed leadership – and learned to expertly adapt to the temperamental climate of Bordeaux.
Jérôme’s roots in the Médoc run deep – from birth until now – so there’s no better winemaker to share with Angels what makes this Left Bank Bordeaux region special.

- Since arriving from Mexico, Fernando has worked his way through the ranks in Napa and Sonoma, from vineyard and cellar worker at Robert Mondavi to Cellar Master and winemaker at T-Vine in Calistoga, then founding his own brand, Voces.
- Fernando now has the opportunity to bring a fresh new voice into winemaking, bringing his vision for wines to a national audience, raising representation for the vineyard and cellar workers who have truly been the backbone of California wine culture for the last 50 years.
- Fernando is especially passionate about making reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Syrah, as well as whites like Chardonnay. With your support, he has access to some of the finest vineyards in Carneros and Russian River Valley. The sky’s the limit!
After having a wine moment with an Oregon Cabernet Sauvignon, Scott and his family went all in in 2006 – never looking back – buying a ranch in Rogue Valley where they planted vineyards from scratch.
Scott’s made wine from different areas for over 25 years – but Southern Oregon’s warmest and driest region won his heart. There, he can make his beloved Cabernet Sauvignon and other varieties – his way. The Rogue Valley isn’t Oregon Pinot country – it’s something new – and spectacular.
Because of you, Scott can focus on making gems like Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Viognier for Angels who would not have discovered them otherwise – while supporting his dream of making Oregon wines future-forward in many ways – his production facility is even 100% solar powered! Win-win.
