Biddenden Gamay Noir 2022 Wins Gold at IEWA 2023

We are delighted to announce that Biddenden’s Gamay Noir 2022 has been awarded a Gold award in the Independent English Wine Awards.

Celebrating the very best of English wines, there were over 100 entries into the competition this year with only four golds given to still wines overall and our Gamay being voted the top red wine for 2023 by the judges!


As described by the IEWA Chair, “For me this was the highlight of the whole competition, not just because its light, juicy, fruity style was so enjoyable, but because it points to a style that I think many more English winemakers should be aiming for. Super fun and friendly wine. I will buy lots of this wine this summer.”

Tasting notes: ‘Great colour, bright and cheerful, with red and blue fruit in abundance and a touch of flint and smoke on the nose. Vibrant morello cherry, spice and earth. Refreshing, with decent acidity, and low tannins. A delicious, fun wine.’
