Chateau Lattey

About Chateau Lattey

Chateau Lattey is a distinctive vineyard nestled in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside of West England. Established in 2006, this modest yet dedicated winery has been cultivating English wine for nearly two decades, contributing to the growing reputation of English viticulture in the heart of England.

The vineyard spans approximately 0.19 hectares, where proprietor Ian and Jean Knight have dedicated themselves to producing quality English wines. The planting focuses on two grape varieties that are well-suited to the English climate: Regent and Seyval Blanc. These varieties have proven successful in the West England region, where cooler temperatures and adequate rainfall create ideal conditions for ripening.

Regent, a German-bred red grape variety, thrives in the cooler conditions of Worcestershire, producing wines with deep color and pleasant tannins. The Regent grapes at Chateau Lattey are carefully tended throughout the growing season, harvested at optimal ripeness to create wines that reflect the unique character of the local terroir.

Seyval Blanc, a versatile hybrid variety bred specifically for cooler climates, contributes to the production of crisp, refreshing white wines. This grape has become increasingly popular among English vineyards, as it consistently produces reliable crops even in less-than-ideal summers.

The winery produces both red and white English wines, with the Regent grapes typically used for red wine production and the Seyval Blanc harvested for white wine output. The modest scale of the vineyard means that production remains boutique, with wines crafted to showcase the character of Worcestershire's distinctive landscape.

Chateau Lattey is not open to visitors, which means wine enthusiasts cannot tour the vineyard directly. However, the winery's products are available through select local retailers and direct purchase options, allowing wine lovers to experience the fruits of this Worcestershire estate.

Located in the WR5 2QE postcode area near Worcester, Chateau Lattey represents the passion and dedication of small-scale English wine producers. The vineyard demonstrates how quality wine production can flourish in the West England region, with Ian and Jean Knight continuing their commitment to producing authentic English wines from their Worcestershire home.
