Cotswolds-based winemakers Woodchester Valley left judges at the Global Sauvignon Blanc Masters awards stunned in a blind taste test which prompted praise for the"wonderful" and"bright" wine.A British sauvignon blanc wine has been named one of the"best in the world" in a blind tasting competition.
The judges said the result is a"perfect example of why we taste blind - partly to leave any preconceptions behind us, and partly for the absolute joy of surprise when something unexpected turns out to be wonderful". The Woodchester Valley vineyard near Stroud was established by lawyer Fiona Shiner in 2007 after she moved from Hong Kong to the Cotswolds. Her daughter Chloe, 34, joined the family business in 2018.
Success came fast however, with Woodchester's 2018 vintage winning a gold medal at the 2019 Global Sauvignon Blanc Masters.In a post on their website celebrating their latest Masters status, the family winemakers said:"From the first taste of the juice from the 2021 harvest we were excited about its potential and are immensely proud of winning this award.The family business produces more than 100,000 bottles of still and sparkling wine every year.
