Chilcomb Valley Vineyard

About Chilcomb Valley Vineyard

Chilcomb Valley Vineyard is a boutique English wine producer nestled in the rolling hills of Hampshire, within the picturesque Wessex wine region. Established in 2015, this charming vineyard covers 2.10 hectares and is dedicated to producing high quality still wines that showcase the potential of English viticulture in southern England. The vineyard takes its name from the tranquil Chilcomb Valley, a rural landscape that provides an ideal setting for cool climate vine growing.

The vineyard focuses on two classic grape varieties that have proven remarkably successful in the English climate. Chardonnay vines form the backbone of the white wine production, benefiting from the crisp acidity and subtle minerality that Hampshire soils impart. The Pinot Noir plantings are cultivated with particular care, producing grapes that become elegant and expressive English wines with notes of red fruit, earthiness and a refined structure. Together, these varieties represent some of the most celebrated grapes in the world of premium winemaking, and at Chilcomb Valley Vineyard they are transformed into wines that reflect the unique terroir of the South Downs.

The Wessex wine region has earned a distinguished reputation for English wine production over recent decades, and Chilcomb Valley Vineyard contributes to this growing legacy. The gentle slopes, free draining soils and temperate maritime climate of Hampshire create conditions that allow grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, preserving the delicate aromatics and vibrant acidity that define great English wine. The vineyard team applies careful attention to viticultural practices, monitoring each vine throughout the growing season to ensure optimal health and fruit quality.
