Awards

Denbies has been recognised for our craft, our sustainability standards, and our responsible approach to business.

A Leader in English Wine

As one of England’s leading single-estate producers, our wines have been consistently recognised on both the national and international stage, reflecting the craft, precision and ambition behind everything we produce. The awards reflect decades of considered viticulture, careful winemaking and a deep respect for the land.

From our first release in 1993 to today’s cellar of sparkling wines, still wines and limited editions, Denbies has been awarded hundreds of medals across some of the most respected competitions in the world.
  • Decanter World Wine Awards
  • International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC)
  • International Wine Challenge (IWC)
  • WineGB Awards
  • Global Rosé Masters
  • Global Sparkling Masters
  • Gatwick Diamond Business Awards 2026

These accolades recognise not just individual wines, but the consistency, character and maturity of English winemaking at scale, something the estate continues to champion year after year.

In 2025, Denbies Wine Estate was honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development.

In July 2024, Denbies Wine Estate became B Corp Certified, achieving the highest UK sector score for its commitment to responsible, sustainable business.

Surrey Gold

Since its release in 1993, Denbies Surrey Gold has become one of the UK’s bestselling English wines, earning a loyal following and repeated recognition for its distinctive aromatic style. Its awards over the years stand as a testament to the varietal expression and terroir-driven freshness that define the estate.

Sparkling Achievements

Our traditional method sparkling wines have received consistent recognition over the years. Made using classic Champagne varieties grown across parcels of chalk and flint, they have been awarded Gold and Silver medals, regional and national trophies, and strong ratings from independent critics and judges.

Together, these awards reflect the quality of the fruit, the care taken in production, and the suitability of the Surrey Hills for cool-climate sparkling wine.

Sustainable Honours

Denbies is proud to be the first vineyard and winery in the UK to produce certified Net Zero wine, recognised under the UK Carbon Code of Conduct (UKCCC). This achievement places the estate among a small number of global producers leading the way in climate-positive viticulture.

We are also a founder member of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain, further reinforcing our commitment to responsible farming, biodiversity and transparent winemaking.
