Border vineyard wins national bronze
Accolades at the annual event, which highlights the best of English and Welsh wine, reflected the growing excellence and innovation within the homegrown wine industry.
Produced from the vibrant Rondo grape, Offa’s Shadow is a smooth, fruit-forward red, barrel-aged in oak to add a rich, warming complexity. The wine’s name nods to the vineyard’s location beside the ancient Offa’s Dyke, celebrating the heritage that winds through this unique, border landscape, where grapes flourish in its distinctive microclimate.
The award announcement came during last week’s English Wine Week, a nationwide celebration of the diversity, quality and character of English wines.
“We’re incredibly proud of this recognition,” says Nadine Roach, the vineyard’s marketing and events manager. “Offa’s Shadow is a wine that really tells a story of our land, our climate and the care we put into every stage of the winemaking process.”
Kerry Vale continues to build its reputation as a destination for wine lovers, offering tastings, vineyard tours and partnerships with local artisans that champion the rich culture and produce of the Welsh Marches.
