Bolney’s most recent win is the English Sparkling Vintage Rosé Trophy at the International Wine Challenge 2026, alongside 4 Decanter World Wine Awards 2026 medals.
Bolney’s Cuvée Rosé 2016 won the English Sparkling Vintage Rosé Trophy at the International Wine Challenge 2026, named the single best wine in its category from all English vintage rosé sparkling wines entered. A Trophy sits above Gold and is awarded to the top wine in each category, rather than a medal band.
Wine award knowledge: what does a trophy mean?
A Trophy is not a medal tier. It is awarded to the single best wine in a category, so only one wine can win it, out of every entry judged.
Alongside our wine and spirit medals, the Estate itself has been recognised for the visitor experience. Bolney Wine Estate won the Quality Food and Drink Accolade in VisitEngland’s Visitor Attraction Accolades 2024-2025, presented in November 2025.

How many awards has Bolney Wine Estate won in 2025?
Bolney Wine Estate won 16 wine and spirit awards in 2025, including 11 medals at the Decanter World Wine Awards, 5 results at the International Wine Challenge, and Gold for its Bianco Vermouth at the World Drinks Awards. VisitEngland also recognised the Estate separately for its visitor experience.
What is the difference between a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal?
Gold is the highest medal, followed by Silver, then Bronze. Each competition uses its own scoring system, so a medal from one competition isn’t directly comparable to a medal from another.
Which Bolney wine has won the most awards?
Bolney Classic Cuvée (North Downs) won Silver medals at both the Decanter World Wine Awards and the International Wine Challenge in 2025.
