Exton Park Vineyard

About Exton Park Vineyard

Exton Park Vineyard stands as a distinguished English wine estate nestled in the rolling countryside of Hampshire, within the historic Wessex region. Founded in 2003, this well-established vineyard has spent over two decades perfecting its craft and building a reputation for producing exceptional English wines that showcase the unique character of the Hampshire terroir.

The vineyard currently spans 19.32 hectares of carefully tended vines, planted with the classic grape varieties Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir. These are the same varieties that have made the Champagne region famous, and at Exton Park they are utilised to produce both elegant sparkling wines and characterful still wines. The climate and soils of Hampshire prove particularly well suited to these Burgundian varieties, allowing the estate to create wines of depth and finesse that rival continental counterparts.

Exton Park is especially recognised for its still wine programme, with Pinot Noir taking centre stage as one of the flagship varietals. The cool English climate lends these wines a distinctive acidity and aromatic complexity that defines the emerging English still wine style. Each vintage reflects the careful viticulture practices employed throughout the growing season, from spring budburst through to harvest.
