Co-chair of the judges Susie Barrie MW said: “We were absolutely thrilled with the quality of the whole range of wines that we tasted this year.

“We consistently see great sparkling wines and they only get better.

“What is great to see though is the evolution of the other categories, especially amongst the still wines, and the quality we are seeing really shows such enormous potential for the future."

The trophy winners, including the unveiling of the wine of the year will be announced at the WineGB Awards ceremony on Friday, July 7 in London.
