On Sunday 22nd August, Holmfirth Vineyard was awarded 2 fantastic wine awards from the Mercian Vineyards Association annual wine tasting competition for our White and Rose wines. Over 160 wines were entered, our Rose Holme View 2009 English wine received the award of Highly Commended, and our 2009 White wine HD9 went one better and received a Bronze medal.
