New vineyard joins award-winning Worcestershire wine group amid celebrations

Celebrations are in order after a successful year for a wine group, which has led to the welcoming of a new site.

The Malvern Hills Vineyards, a collection of six vineyards, have welcomed the new vineyard, Deer Park, into its association following an award-winning year for its wines.

The new addition, Deer Park, is a family-run vineyard on the slopes of Brendon Hill.

Collecting Decanter and Wine GB awards, its award-winning wines will add extra accomplishments to The Malvern Hills Vineyards for the year.

Producing no less than 14 grape varieties across a total of 40 hectares highlights the local expertise and thriving reputation for growing grapes and crafting wines in Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire.

Malvern Hills Vineyards produce a wide range of still and sparkling wines.

Four out of the six vineyards have won awards, notably Two Beacons, which won three medals in this year’s esteemed Decanter Worldwide Awards, with Three Choirs having no less than 17 awards this year.

Additionally, Marlbank, despite its tiny size, secured silver in the Wine GB awards this year, showing how conditions can still be used to craft amazing wines.

To celebrate the success and to welcome Deer Park, a Wine Festival will be hosted on September 5 this year, starting from midday until 6.

At the base of the Two Beacons Vineyard, the Mathon Court, you will get the opportunity to taste the award-winning wines (with a commemorative glass), accompanied by entertainment from local musicians, games, and food stalls.
