Our Vineyards
Prior to planting the land had been assessed as exceptional for vine growing. Climactic conditions now make East Kent, and the Canterbury area in particular, an optimum location for growing the champagne varieties. It is apt that the city of Canterbury is twinned with Rheims, the birth place of champagne.
Our Wines
Our sparkling wines, crafted by renowned winemaker Emma Rice, include a Classic Cuvée from our 2018 harvest, which earned critical acclaim, and a 2019 Sparkling Rosé, awarded gold and silver medals. Now produced by Defined Wine, an exceptional contract winery, our still wines (Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Rosé, and Pinot Noir Red) have won a host of awards and sell out yearly.
Heppington Classic Cuvée 2019
"Had a glass of this at the fantastic Good’s Shed farmers market yesterday in Canterbury, UK. Pleasant local English sparkler from Kent with fresh apple and citrus notes coming through. Short to medium finish with a restrained mousse".
