Local support as a’Beckett’s wines are now available through Wadworth
Leading independent brewery Wadworth & Co, from Devizes in Wiltshire, have linked up with local vineyard a’Beckett’s and now are selling their wines throughout their 250 strong pub estate, as well as to their trade customers.
The move highlights the strong Wiltshire link between the two producers, which will undoubtedly develop enthusiastic local support. a’Beckett’s Sparkling White, Estate Blend still white and Estate Red are the only English wines on the Wadworth list.
Andrew Steer, commercial manager at Wadworth said “We are delighted to be able to work with a’Beckett’s Vineyard. The wines are excellent quality and the current increasing demand for local products and reducing carbon footprints makes a’Beckett’s and Wadworth ideal regional partners. We are looking forward to increasing the distribution and awareness of the range in time.”
a’Beckett’s proprietor Paul Langham, who together with his wife Lynn planted the vineyard in 2001, commented: “We are thrilled that we are supplying Wadworth, one of Wiltshire’s leading and most popular brands. Lynn and I are delighted that we can now buy our wine in our local!”
a’Beckett’s continue to develop their vineyard business, with a winery building now ready to accommodate winemaking equipment ready for this year’s harvest. Two of the wines won awards last year, with a Silver medal won by the (now sold out) Rosé 2006 and a Bronze for the Estate Red 2005 in the English & Welsh Wine of the Year Competition.
The vineyard is located in Littleton Panell some 4 miles south of Devizes on the A360, and is open Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Bank Holidays, 10.30am to 5pm for wine sales and walks around the vineyard.
