Our Awards and Press

When we harvested our very first grapes in 2004, we could only dream of what was to come. Just a few years later, that inaugural vintage became Balfour Brut Rosé, a wine that went on to win Gold at the International Wine Challenge, a landmark moment that helped put English wine firmly on the map.

Since then, our winemaking team has continued to craft wines that have earned recognition from some of the most respected competitions and critics in the world. From sparkling wines to still expressions, we’ve been fortunate to receive hundreds of awards along the way.

We could list every medal, trophy and accolade we’ve collected over the years… but we’d rather not spend too much time polishing our own halo.

Instead, below you’ll find a selection of our most recent awards and recognitions. Proof that nearly two decades on, we’re still pushing English wine forward.
