A Bristol wine producer has won two national awards for its sparkling wines.

Dunleavy Vineyards, which is run by Ingrid Bates, bagged bronze medals for its 2022 sparkling rosé and 2022 sparkling white in the WineGB and IEWA awards respectively.

Both prestigious competitions happen annually and feature the UK’s top wine producers.

Bates said: “Winning bronze awards for our latest sparkling wines is a great achievement. Our sparkling wines are made using the traditional method which is a long process.

“As a small producer we can’t always leave our sparkling wines on the lees for as long as larger producer would because we need to keep stock moving.

“Because of this, our sparkling wines have a fresher, more fruit-forward style which we think is becoming more popular amongst consumers”
