Denbies Chalk Ridge Rose 2010 was the only still rose out of 367 different bottles submitted from 21 countries to win a gold medal at the IWC, widely regarded as the most important of the many international wine competitions. The vintage, which has only just been bottled, is further evidence that the English wine industry, despite the relatively small number of bottles it produces, is being taken increasingly seriously by its international rivals. "We are just ecstatic," said Jeannette Simpson, the business development manager at Denbies, a family-owned estate. "We have been celebrating with some glasses of rose all morning." |
