Bristol wine producer creates immersive soundscape to pair with new rosé
A Bristol-based wine producer has decided to take the experience of sipping a glass of wine to the next level with their latest still rosé.
Dunleavy Vineyards have teamed up with the BAFTA-winning sound editor, Angela Groves, whose credits include Life of Birds, Life of Mammals, Secret World of Sound, Springwatch and Autumnwatch, to create a sensory experience.
Blending wine and audio is nothing new to Dunleavy Vineyards, as they joined forces with several Bristol-based musicians including Harriet Riley, Stevie Toddler, Alex Garden and Georgie Ward last year to create soundtracks to ‘pair’ with their rosé.

By scanning a QR code of their new rosé, drinkers will be taken on a soundscape of seasons, bird sounds and even local farming voices.

Angela Groves of SynergySound is the sound designer who created the soundscape.
Ingrid Bates, the founder of Dunleavy Vineyards, said: “We’re really pleased with the wine itself and can’t wait to see what people think of it.”
Bates, who herself loves wildlife and has a minimalist intervention approach to growing her vines could not be happier with the collaboration.
“We love using QR codes in a creative way to allow our customers to interact with us and make the wine drinking experience more fun,” she added.

Dunleavy’s wines are made using just two principal grape varieties: regent and seyval blanc.
According to the founders, both varieties are modern hybrids and unlike most classic grape varieties which require little to no chemical intervention in growing.
