About Aldwick Estate
Aldwick Estate is a charming vineyard nestled in the heart of North Somerset, West England, near the village of Aldwick. Established in 2008, this winery has steadily built a reputation for producing quality English wines that showcase the unique character of the Somerset countryside. With approximately 4.59 hectares of vines planted, Aldwick Estate represents the growing strength of English wine production in the West Country region.
The vineyard cultivates a diverse range of grape varieties carefully selected to thrive in the English climate. Among the planted varieties are Bacchus, an increasingly popular English wine grape known for producing aromatic wines with distinctive notes reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc, and Seyval Blanc, a hybrid variety well suited to cooler climates that yields crisp and refreshing white wines. The planting also includes Mad Angie, Phoenix, Precoce, Regent, and Solaris, each contributing to the estate's diverse portfolio of English wines. This thoughtful selection of grape varieties reflects Aldwick Estate's commitment to crafting wines that express the terroir of North Somerset.
