Move over Margaux and Champagne. The corks are popping at the Tinwood Estate in Sussex, after it was appointed a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for wine, a first for the UK. The status is a guarantee of quality and geographical provenance.
Currently celebrating 15 years of operation, the vineyard also recently scooped two prestigious Gold awards, and two silvers, for its Blanc de Blancs, at the International Wine Challenge (IWC) and The International Wine & Spirits Challenge (IWSC).
