Delightful afternoon at the inaugural Malvern hills Vineyards W**e Festival, where 6 local vineyards have joined forces to highlight the delicious w**es produced in this locality.
A decade ago none of them were operating as commercial w**e ventures, or for some the vines weren’t even in existence. The English vineyard landscape has evolved exponentially over recent years and today’s W**e Festival was an illustration of the success and future potential of areas such as this, beyond the confines of more prominent w**e growing regions such as Kent, Sussex or Cornwall.
My favourite w**es of the day were:
1. Marlbank Blanc de Noirs 2024
2. Two Beacons Sparkling Rose Pino, 2022
3. Two Beacons Pinot Precoce 2023
4. Foxbury Fields Fusion 2023 (Ortega/bacchus blend)
5. Deer Park Still Rose 2025
