And following on from our silver 2025 madeleine angevine, a little bit about our bronze winning Redshank!

Our Redshank is made with rondo grapes imported from just across the river in Cornwall. The idea if this wine was borne out of a happy mistake when we first worked with this variety in 2023. Trying to make blush rosé, we had no idea how intense the colour and flavour of these grapes would be. As such we made an "accidental" red which proved very popular.

Fast forward a couple of years, and having been repeatedly asked for this wine again, we decided to give it another go. However, this time the plan was to make it a bit more grown up. A bit more tannin and a bit more alcohol to make it nicely balanced.

So that's what we made and even before the award, we were very happy with it! Serve it lightly chilled to appreciate the vibrant fruitiness!

Below are a few notes from the judges:

A bright and thoughtfully styled lighter red, designed to be enjoyed with a slight chill and showing plenty of aromatic charm. The nose is expressive and inviting, with notes of sour cherry, wild strawberry and delicate violet, alongside subtle savoury nuances that add complexity and interest. The overall impression is fresh and attractive, with a clear sense of style and purpose.

On the palate, the wine is soft, vibrant and highly approachable, with lively acidity and gentle tannins contributing to a refreshing, easy-drinking character. The lighter body and delicate structure are well suited to the intended style, favouring elegance and immediacy over power and weight.

A Bronze medal red with attractive aromatics, fresh red fruit and a clear stylistic identity. Elegant and highly drinkable, with additional fruit depth and persistence helping to bring even greater harmony and completeness.

Following on from our exciting news, a little more about our award winning wines.

Firstly, the madeleine angevine.

This was our 5th vintage in our winery and each year we have approached our wine making slightly differently in order to try new techniques to see exactly what works well with this variety.

In 2025 we tried a couple of new approaches. The bulk of this wine is made up of a natural ferment which gives a true expression of madeleine angevine's aromatic qualities. This was blended with a whole bunch pressed wine fermented using a traditional champagne yeast. This offered a bit of neutrality to balance the ripe madeleine flavours.

A lot of thought went into this wine so we're really happy to have won a silver medal!

Below are a selection of the judges comments:

A bright and highly expressive Madeleine, with excellent aromatic lift and plenty of personality.
On the palate, the wine is fresh, lively and beautifully lifted, with citrus and orchard fruit flavours supported by a delicate structure and vibrant acidity.

The wine's strengths lie in its freshness, aromatic intensity and drinkability. Several judges particularly appreciated the way texture and precision work together to create a distinctive and highly appealing style.

Overall, this is a vibrant and characterful Madeleine that combines aromatic intensity with freshness and texture, delivering a distinctive and thoroughly enjoyable expression of the variety.

A Silver medal Madeleine with impressive aromatic lift, bright fruit and excellent freshness. Expressive and individual in style, it offers plenty of character and drinkability,
