WineGB Awards 2024 trophy winners

Wines made in 13 different counties were awarded trophies at this year’s WineGB Awards after the highest number of Gold medals ever given.

Fresh off its Decanter World Wine Awards triumph, Kent-based Chapel Down secured the top spot this year, winning Supreme Champion, Top Sparkling Wine, Best Prestige Cuvée, and the South East Trophy for its Kit's Coty Coeur de Cuvée 2016. It didn’t stop there: it also picked up Best Chardonnay, Joint Top Still Wine, and Best Sustainable Wine for its Kit’s Coty Chardonnay 2021.

Fellow Kent-based producers Simpsons’ Wine Estate and Westwell Wine Estate also picked up trophies. Simpsons’ won Best Still Rosé Railway Hill Rosé 2023, while Westwell achieved Best Innovative Sparkling for its Pinot Meunier MV.

Another big winner was Dorset’s Langham Wine Estate, which was awarded four trophies for three different wines. Its Corallian Classic Cuvée NV was named Best NV/MV Classic Cuvée, its Pinot Noir 2019 won Best Blanc de Noirs and the Wessex Trophy, while its Blanc de Blancs NV contributed to it being awarded Best Estate Winery.

North Yorkshire got its first trophy in the form of Dunesforde Vineyard’s Still Pinot Gris 2022, winning Best Single Varietal White and the trophy for the Midlands & North region.

London-based urban winery Vagabond Wines picked up Best Innovative Still, Joint Top Still Wine and the Boutique Award for its Solena NV Ortega, comprising 60% from the 2022 vintage and 40% reserve wine from a solera system.
