WESTERHAM VINEYARD VICTORIOUS IN WORLD’S LARGEST WINE COMPETITION
Squerryes has triumphed at the 2019 international Decanter Awards by scooping one of the highest possible accolades to be given to a wine. The Westerham-based wine estate received the much-prized Platinum medal for its 2014 Vintage Reserve in the highly-acclaimed global competition, which champions the “very best” wines the world has to offer. The incredible achievement comes after 280 international experts, including some of the world’s top sommeliers, came together at the Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) to blind- test 16,500 wines from 57 countries.
The champion bottle, the youngest sparkling wine to be produced at the 2,500-acre estate on the Kent Surrey border, received a near perfect score of 97 out of 100, making it one of just 0.9% of all entrants to qualify for the Platinum award.
