Natalie Earl

Natalie Earl joined Decanter in 2015 as Tastings Assistant and is now Awards Competition Manager, overseeing the competitive and judging elements of the DWWA, DAWA and Retailer Awards. She is currently completing her WSET Diploma.

She found her way into wine after a French & Italian degree, and during her year abroad fell in love with the Languedoc-Roussillon in the South of France. She returned to the Languedoc after graduating to work for a small vineyard tour operator, and there learned more about the wines, the land and the people.

She has a particular soft spot for Sherry and would not be found far from a cold glass of Manzanilla pasada en rama, or indeed German Riesling.
