And your winner is...

He did it in 2010 and now, once again, Ben Darnault is your 2025 Winemaker of the Year!

Over to you, Ben…

Fresh off the news, he wanted to say thank you to the Angels who backed him, and made him only our second ever 2-time winner.

Now for the fun bit. As his Winemaker of the Year prize, Ben’s going to make you a brand-new Grenache Gris – a juicy southern French white, perfectly suited to the hot southern French climate, and made with your tastes firmly in mind.

If you want first dibs (and you probably do) – click the link below, give Ben a follow and we’ll keep you posted as it goes from idea to bottle. Don’t be shy to drop him a message while you’re there too. What’s the French for “congratulations” again?

Félicitations!
