Dunleavy Vineyards is renowned for its diverse portfolio of multi-award winning English wines, producing still rosé, sparkling white, and an unusual sparkling red. In May 2024, they also unveiled a limited-edition sparkling rosé, crafted using the traditional method. Their flagship still rosé, for instance, won the 'Best Rosé' trophy at the WineGB WEST awards in 2023 for its 2022 vintage. The same year, it also received a prestigious Harper's Design Award for its innovative and interactive label. Their 2022 Sparkling Red earned a silver medal at the Glass of Bubbly Awards in 2024, while their 2022 sparkling rosé and sparkling white each secured bronze medals at the WineGB and IEWA awards respectively in 2024.

Although not certified organic, Dunleavy Vineyards prioritises sustainability by cultivating modern hybrid grape varieties such as Regent and Seyval Blanc, which naturally require minimal chemical intervention.
