The dust has finally settled after last week’s highly anticipated Wine GB Awards results announcement and the atmosphere around the vineyard is nothing short of electric.
We are incredibly proud to share that our wines have received major recognition this year, bringing home a fantastic collection of both Gold and Silver medals.
For us, these awards are a wonderful validation of our commitment to crafting exceptional English sparkling and still wines. Whether you are a long-time collector of our vintages or regular enjoyer of our signature blends, we can’t wait for you to pour a glass of these award-winning drops.

It Takes a Vineyard: A True Team Effort
While it’s always exciting to see our name on a gold-medal list, what these accolades really represent is time. Wine is a long game, and these scores reflect years of patience, hard work, and collaboration.
“An award is never just about the liquid in the glass; it’s a recognition of the collective heartbeat of our entire business.“
We want to raise a massive glass to Trevor and our talented winemaking team, whose precision and artistry shape every bottle. But just as importantly, we want to celebrate the unsung heroes across the entire estate:
- Our Viticulture Team: Who brave the unpredictable British weather to ensure only the finest quality fruit leaves the vines.
- Our Operations Team: The logistical backbone that keeps our production, bottling, and day-to-day running seamlessly.
- Our Sales & Marketing Teams: Who work tirelessly to get our bottles onto the shelves, into restaurants, and into your hands.
This success belongs to every single one of them.
Looking Ahead to July
The celebrations aren’t stopping here. We are already looking forward to dressing up and heading to the WineGB conference and awards ceremony later in July. It’s always a highlight of the year—a chance to catch up with our brilliant peers in the UK wine industry, share ideas, and, of course, toast to a vibrant and growing British wine scene.
Thank you, as always, to our wonderful customers and community for your ongoing support. We couldn’t do this without you.
