Foxford Vineyard

About Foxford Vineyard

Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Hampshire, Foxford Vineyard represents a new generation of English wine producers dedicated to crafting exceptional still wines in the Wessex region. Established in 2020, this boutique vineyard spans 1.80 hectares of carefully tended vines that now form a mature and productive planting contributing to Hampshire's growing reputation for English wine excellence.

The vineyard focuses on three classic grape varieties that have proven themselves well-suited to the Hampshire terroir. Chardonnay grapes thrive in the south-facing slopes, producing wines with elegance and finesse. Pinot Noir, the noble red variety, finds here the cool climate it loves, developing complex fruit characteristics and a refined structure that English Pinot Noir is increasingly celebrated for. Meunier, often used to add depth and body to sparkling base wines, rounds out the planting and provides versatility in the winery.

Foxford Vineyard is part of an exciting wave of new English vineyards that are expanding the footprint of viticulture in Hampshire, one of England's most promising wine regions. The Wessex designation encompasses some of England's finest vineyard areas, and the combination of appropriate soils, careful site selection, and attentive viticulture is helping producers like Foxford create wines that compete on the world stage.

While Foxford Vineyard is currently not open to visitors for tours or tastings, the winery focuses its efforts on producing quality fruit and crafting wines that showcase what Hampshire can offer. Those interested in sampling Foxford wines may find them available through select local stockists or directly from the vineyard.

The establishment of Foxford Vineyard in 2020 demonstrates the continued expansion and maturation of the English wine industry, with producers across Hampshire and Wessex demonstrating that England is capable of producing wines of genuine character and quality worthy of exploration.
