Goose Beck Vineyard

About Goose Beck Vineyard

Goose Beck Vineyard sits in the heart of North Yorkshire, a testament to the growing excellence of English wine production in the northern reaches of England. With approximately 2.80 hectares of vines planted, this winery has established itself as a noteworthy producer within the Mid and North region, crafting wines that reflect both the terroir of Yorkshire and the dedication of its winemakers.

The vineyard cultivates an impressive diversity of grape varieties, spanning both classic and more unusual cultivars. Among the whites, visitors will find Bacchus, Solaris, Muscaris, Hibernal, Orion, Phoenix, Sauvignac, and Souvignier Gris, each contributing unique characteristics to the Goose Beck portfolio. The aromatic Bacchus grape, often compared to Sauvignon Blanc, thrives in the cooler Yorkshire climate, producing wines with crisp acidity and distinctive aromatics. Solaris, a relatively new crossing bred in Germany, has proven particularly well-suited to English conditions, offering both disease resistance and the ability to ripen fully in shorter seasons.

For red wine enthusiasts, Goose Beck cultivates Pinot Noir, Regent, Rondo, and the more recent Swiss-bred varieties Cabernet Cortis and Divico. These grapes enable the winery to produce both still and rosé expressions, showcasing the versatility of North Yorkshire viticulture. The inclusion of Seyval Blanc provides additional flexibility for still and sparkling wine production, while the rare Sauvitage adds further complexity to their range.

Located near postcode YO26 7NZ in North Yorkshire, Goose Beck Vineyard represents the exciting evolution of English wine beyond the traditional southern England heartlands.
