Our wines are led by our grapes – in each season, we will decide the best style of wine to make from the grapes grown that year. In hot years, the full, rounded flavours lend themselves to still wines, in cooler years, sparkling wines triumph!

With our expert winemaking partners at Oxney Wine Estate, with Emma Rice, twice winner of the UK wine maker of the year, we monitor our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as the season progresses and develop a plan, deciding on the balance between still and sparkling wine, a rosé or a white, a varietal blend or single varietals.

No two seasons are ever the same and therefore our wines vary from year to year. This can even mean a completely direction such as producing a Vermouth from the less clement season of 2021. 2026, as the hottest season to date, has thrown us the opportunity to make a red wine.

As we hand pick, we check every bunch for quality at harvest and utilise traditional whole bunch pressing for sparkling wines. Our sparkling wine is all traditional method, aged in bottle on lees for the optimum amount of time and we aim to meet PDO quality standards on all of our wine. 

To find out more about wine making, book onto a tour where we will be delighted to explain all about the difference between different styles of wine and how it’s made!

AWARD-WINNING WINES

The proof of the pudding is in the eating – or the proof of the wine is in the drinking! We have many happy visitors who love our wines but it’s also nice to see how they stack up in national competitions.
Over the years since we launched our first sparkling wine in 2020, we have received medals every year we have entered the Wine GB awards – the most competitive of the UK award schemes – with three silver medals and four bronze medals to date. Our 2020 Blanc de Noirs was also awarded a gold medal by the Independent English Wine Awards 2026.
