Camel Valley Vineyard were at the World Rosé Sparkling Wine Champions to receive the Trophy for the Best Sparkling Rosé Trophy at Bollicini del Mondo held in Verona, Italy.

The trophies were awarded at a gala dinner in the prestigious Café Dante in Verona on the 15 February 2011 in front of some of the world’s top wine producers and journalists.

The winning wines were each served with a specially designed food match and the 2008 Camel Valley Pinot Noir Brut was hailed a sensation when served with a parmesan cheese soufflé on a bed of mushrooms.  UK Winemaker of the Year, Sam Lindo, collected the Trophy and Bob Lindo was given the honour of presenting trophies to other winners.

Said Bob: ‘An absolutely amazing evening was surpassed only by an even more amazing trophy – it is a work of art.  It will be under lock and key for safe keeping for generations to come, and is now proudly on display at Camel Valley’.

Added Sam: ‘I was completely overwhelmed and I’ll remember this evening for the rest of my life’.

Camel Valley also currently holds the Waitrose Trophy for the best rosé in the UK’s own national competition, the English & Welsh Wine of the Year Competition.
