Sveinns Vineyard: A Rising Star with Award-Winning Bacchus. Sveinns Vineyard has firmly announced its arrival on the English wine scene, winning the Best Bacchus award for their Bacchus Fumé 2024 a remarkable achievement for a vineyard planted only in 2019. Just a few years into production and located close to Norwich, Sveinns is already proving it’s a name to watch.
The judges described the Bacchus Fumé as “zesty and energetic. A great expression of English Bacchus.” Its vibrancy, clarity and freshness made it a standout in a highly competitive category, confirming both the vineyard’s potential and the skill of its winemaking team.
Their success didn’t end there: Sveinns Vineyard also earned a medal for their Rosé 2024, underlining the early promise of this young Norfolk vineyard. With such strong results so early on, Sveinns is clearly on a path toward an exciting and distinguished future.
