We're delighted to announce that we've won a round of medals in this year's Sommelier Wine Awards, announced today.
The following wines of ours received top praise from the judges:
Cederberg, Sauvignon Blanc, 2013, Cederberg, South Africa
Gold Medal
Complex yet restrained,
this sports an almost Old World balance of flavours on the nose, with
herbaceous, grassy notes mixed with citrus fruit. 'The palate is lean
and racy, with fine fresh minerality,' said Alan Holmes of The Vineyard
at Stockcross. 'This calls for fresh, simple and seasonal food,' said
team leader Natasha Hughes, suggesting asparagus and trout with fragrant
herbs.
Remirez de Ganuza, Fincas de Ganuza Reserva 2006 (Rioja) - Silver Medal
Pierre Moncuit-Delos, Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut NV - Silver Medal
Cederberg, Ghost Corner Semillon, 2011, Elim, South Africa
Silver Medal
Toasted and smoky, with
herbaceous streaks, this is delicate and complex. 'Racy and elegant,
with minerals alongside candied lemon,' said consultant sommelier
Nicolas Clerc MS. 'Not necessarily "cool" Semillon, but who cares?
Mature with great balance,' said Bread Street Kitchen's Gergely Barsi
Szabó.
Cederberg, Ghost Corner Pinot Noir, 2012, Elim, South Africa
Bronze Medal
Savoury notes on the
nose carry through to the palate, where forest berries sit alongside
smoky tones. 'There's a classic SAFA wildness to it,' said Athila Roos
of The Arts Club.

Isolabella della Croce, Bricco Del Falco, (Piedmont, Italy) Pinot Nero 2009 Commended
