Colemere Vineyard

About Colemere Vineyard

Colemere Vineyard is a charming English winery nestled in the heart of the Shropshire countryside, representing the growing excellence of wines from the Mid and North region of England. Established in 2014, this vineyard has spent the past decade carefully cultivating vines across 0.96 hectares of prime land, demonstrating the dedication and patience required to produce quality English wine.

The vineyard is situated in a picturesque rural location with the postcode SY12 0LQ, offering visitors an authentic experience of English viticulture away from the more populated wine regions. Shropshire provides ideal conditions for grape growing, with its moderate climate and suitable soil profiles supporting the cultivation of both established and newer grape varieties suited to English conditions.

Colemere Vineyard cultivates an impressive diversity of grape varieties, reflecting a thoughtful approach to winemaking. The plantings include Bacchus, a grape variety that has proven successful in England for producing aromatic white wines with distinctive character. Solaris adds to the white wine production, while Pinot Blanc offers complexity and finesse. The vineyard also grows earlier-ripening varieties including Phoenix and Precoce, which help mitigate the challenges of the English climate.

Among the red grape varieties, Regent and Rondo provide the foundation for the winery's rosé and red wine offerings. Seyval Blanc, a staple of English wine production for decades, contributes to the production of quality blended wines. This diverse plantings strategy allows Colemere Vineyard to produce a range of wine styles, from crisp and refreshing whites to more structured reds and elegant rosés.
