Warden abbey Vineyard, no stranger to awards for its wines over the past twenty years, has had a very successful season and has received a total of twelve awards  this summer.

Starting with the prestigious International Wine Challenge in May, for which 10,000 wines are entered from all over the world, Warden Vineyard  Sparkling Extra Dry 2007 received a Bronze Award, while the 2007 Warden Bacchus was Commended’.

This was followed by in June by the UK Vineyards Association English/Welsh Wine of the Year Awards, in which Warden Bacchus 2008 was awarded a Gold and Warden Abbot 2008 a Silver, while the two 2007 Sparkling Wines both came away with Bronze Awards.
Finally, in the East Anglian Winegrowers Association Wine of the Year Award, judged on July 21, our Sparkling Extra Dry 2007 and Abbot Brut 2007 both received Silver Awards, and Bacchus 2008 and Abbot 2008 were awarded Bronze.
 
All these wines will be available at our Open Vineyard Weekend, held at the vineyard on September 11 and 12. For directions, see our website www.wardenwines.co.uk.
