Goodworth Clatford Vineyard

About Goodworth Clatford Vineyard

Situated in the picturesque Test Valley of Hampshire, Goodworth Clatford Vineyard represents the growing passion for English wine in one of the countrys most celebrated rural landscapes. Established in 2016, this boutique vineyard cultivates approximately 0.40 hectares of premium grape varieties within the Wessex wine region, demonstrating how smaller-scale viticulture can produce exceptional results.

The vineyard focuses its production on three classic grape varieties that have proven themselves particularly well-suited to the English climate. Chardonnay grapes form the foundation for elegant still wines and traditional method sparkling wines, while Meunier and Pinot Noir contribute to the vineyards signature sparkling blends. These Burgundian-inspired varieties thrive in the chalky soils of Hampshire, drawing character from the same geological features that make the broader Wessex region so favourable for viticulture.
