There’s a new Golden 50 Wines List, curated by WineGB in collaboration with the Vineyard & Winery Show. This list highlights the finest wines from England and Wales, all of which received gold medals across ten national and international competitions this year.The Golden 50 Wines List features 50 wines chosen from over 100 gold medal recipients in 2024. These awards were earned at renowned competitions such as the WineGB Awards, Decanter World Wine Awards and the International Wine Challenge, among others.
Leading producers such as Gusbourne, Chapel Down, and Langham took centre stage, with Gusbourne receiving 11 gold medals across five competitions, making it the top-performing producer. Chapel Down followed with nine golds, and Langham secured seven.
Several wines achieved multiple golds, including Hambledon’s Premier Cuvée Brut, which won three gold medals. Notable double-gold winners included Artelium Curator’s Cuvée 2018, Chapel Down Rosé Brut, and Roebuck Estates Classic Cuvée 2018.
