Our vineyards, overlooking Wateringbury, are perfectly positioned on the Greensand Ridge. They benefit from the ideal viticultural growing conditions bestowed by the site’s aspect, elevation, climate and well-drained, rocky soil. With the fantastic starting point afforded to us by our favourable location, we supplement this with dedicated, high quality vineyard care to ensure a well-maintained canopy throughout the year and sustainable high-quality fruit production.

First planted in 2016, we grow Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. Historically, these three are known as the principal grapes grown in Champagne; but they have proven a fabulous match for the climate and growing conditions here in Kent to make exceptional English Sparkling Wine. With the goal of excellence in mind, careful consideration went into selecting a variety of clones on the most balanced rootstocks that each carries its own character and individuality into the wines. This creates complexity, interest and diversity in the glass. Our Mereworth Wines are solely made from the grapes we grow and harvest from our own vineyard, which allows us to ensure that only the highest quality grapes, at the perfect point of maturity, make the cut.

The art of winemaking, with all its subtle nuances and challenges, is the blood that makes our heart beat and drives everything we do. We ardently believe that wine grown and produced in England, and particularly from our own vineyard and winery, has all the qualities to make it the best in the world. Proud of our heritage and our roots in Kent, we are determined to continually raise the bar in English winemaking.
