Camel Valley headlines wines served at state banquet

Camel Valley Special Reserve 2015, was served by HM the King and HM the Queen at the lavishState Banquet for South Korea’s President and First Lady.

Previously, Camel Valley has been served on many Royal occasions including the banquet for the King and Queen of Spain and the President and first lady of Mexico.

Founder Bob Lindo said: “It’s very rewarding after 34 years of making wine in Cornwall to be recognized in this way and to be served in the company of some the world’s most prestigious wines. Despite being Royal Warrant Holder’s we still had to be tasted blind for selection and the English Camel Valley Special Reserve 2015 had won Gold in the Champagne and sparkling wine World Championships.”

Wines served included an English Camel Valley Special Reserve 2015; Montrachet 1er Cru Macharelles; Domaine François Carillon 2014; Château Mouton-Rothschild 1er Cru, Pauillac 1989; Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey; Sauternes 2001; Fonseca 1985.
