Winding Wood Vineyard

They are a boutique vineyard situated in the beautiful west corner of Berkshire between Hungerford and Newbury.

The vines are planted on free draining loam over flint and chalk.

Their wine is made from the classic champagne varieties and undergoes the traditional method of making with two fermentations: first in oak barrel and second in the bottle.

They age their wines for a minimum of 24 months ‘on lees’ then followed by 6 months resting on ‘cork’ before release.

Fruit first over long lees ageing is their watchword.

They are entering our third year of ‘conversion’ towards becoming a certified organic vineyard, hand-in-hand with embracing a biodynamic approach towards both the land and vines.

This means using regenerative methods at all times: no tilling under the vine, improving soil content constantly, employing no synthetic chemicals, and using plants with medicinal properties to make teas for spraying on their vines to build up their resistance to disease.

They run tours and tastings for small groups during May to October by prior arrangement.

Theyalso offer small corporate events.
