Oriana 2019 Wins IWSC Gold Trophy for "Sparkling Success Stories" in 2025 Awards

Following the IWSC 2025 Wine Judging earlier this year, we are thrilled to be named in this year’s IWSC Wine Trophy winners. These awards celebrate the very best of the competition, recognising bottles that stood out as truly exceptional.

This year, 40 Wine Trophies were awarded across still, sparkling, and fortified categories—each a mark of outstanding craftsmanship and character.

Sparkling Success Stories: English sparkling wines once again impressed throughout the judging, with Weyborne’s Oriana Brut 2019 earning one of the coveted trophies.

Judging panel: John Hoskins MW, David Kermode, Emma Penman, Andrew Craig, Zareh Mesrobyan

Tasting note:Aromas of ripe orchard fruits entwine with delicate autolytic notes and a touch of sourdough. The palate is lifted by a vibrant mousse, revealing layers of red fruit, wet stone minerality, and a lingering finish of nutty elegance—ethereal, refined, and beautifully balanced.
