Alder Vineyard Win Silver Award at IEWA 2017
We are thrilled to report that we have been awarded a silver medal in the first Independent English Wine Awards for our Alder Vineyard Madeleine Angevine 2014 vintage.
The IEWA’s were held in Bristol during March 2017 showcasing fantastic wines from all over the country. Each wine entered was judged by a highly credible panel of industry experts.
Being awarded an IEWA medal is an impressive achievement after critical evaluation by this collection of expert palates. The only information given about the otherwise ‘blind’ samples is grape variety and year. Judging is then carried out in panels of four, with wines tasted by category and assessed on their merits against a detailed scoring matrix.
Our first vintage, the white Madeleine Angevine 2014, is a single variety English wine producing fruity overtones of melon and apple, with a crisp, dry palate. Enjoy served well chilled, on its own or with chicken and seafood. Beautiful!
We are delighted to add this award to the Highly Commended also awarded in September 2015 from the South West Vineyards Association Annual Awards.
