How glorious it is to be recognized in one of the world’s most renowned wine competitions! This pleasure has been given to the Direct Wines Production this year. The Direct Wines Production has earned in total nine gold, silver, and bronze medals and a special award - the Best in Show by Varietal. From the hundreds of participants in the competition, nine bottles of Direct Wines Production acquired these medals.

The Direct Wines Production is a part of a traditional, family-owned business which is involved in the wine industry since1960s. Experience in trading wine for over 50 years has given this company a reputation across the world. Nine wines from the Direct Wine production including RedHeads Whip-Hand, La Voûte, Château La Clarière Laithwaite, RedHeads Coco Rôtie, Château de Colombe, RedHeads Esulé 'woman with gun', RedHeads Night of the Living Red, RedHeads Vin'atus, and RedHeads Princess of Thieves won in 2018 London Wine Competition. The RedHeads Whip-Hand was also named ‘Best in Show by Varietal’.

RedHeads is fermented in an open stainless still fermenter for ten days and pressed off and racked later. No fining or filtering has been used on this vintage to keep the character of this wine. The Whip-Hand has notes of blackberry and leafy cabernet across the background of rich black fruit, cedary oak and mixed spice. The palate is filled with the notes of star anise and cloves. You can pair this wine with steak, or leg of lamb with a spicy marinade.

The London Wine Competition recognizes and rewards the wine brands that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific wine drinker. The competition judges wine in three key areas - quality, value for money and packaging. To be an award winner in this competition, all you need to have is a good quality wine that offers great value for money and a look that stands out on the shelf of the bar. 2019 London Wine Competition is back and if you have a wine(s) with the above qualities, you can enter your wines here.
