BLUE AURORA AWARDED TWO GREAT TASTE AWARDS

It’s been a busy few weeks here at Blue Aurora HQ, and we are very pleased to let you know that our list of awards and accolades has grown even longer! Both our Midnight and Ice Wine have been awarded one star by the prestigious Guild of Fine Food Great Taste Awards, and we couldn’t be happier with the judges’ feedback.

They said of the Midnight, ‘We loved the intense ruby colour of this blueberry wine. The aroma was pleasingly not just of sweet blueberries, but also carried toasty vanilla and oaky notes, which promised complexity … this reminds us of a Loire red, left on the lees, or a gamay from Beaujolais. Chill and quaff. Really interesting and well made, it will brighten up any dull dinner party if blind tasted. Intriguing and tasty’.

Our Ice Wine was described as ‘An interesting concept for sure. We loved the deep blueberry colour, the vinous aroma (almost of mulled wine, curiously) and the level of fruit extract on the palate … deep red, rich with sweet bramble aromas and a tannic, liqueur-edged finish. The blueberries seem to emulate plums and red berries’.
