About Ham Street Wines
Ham Street Wines is a biodynamic vineyard and winery nestled in the picturesque county of Kent, South East England. Established in 2019, this relatively young estate has quickly established itself as a noteworthy producer within England's flourishing wine scene. The winery occupies a prime position within Kent, a region widely recognised as England's premier wine-producing county, where chalk downland slopes and a favourable microclimate create ideal conditions for growing premium wine grapes.
The estate currently cultivates 4.02 hectares of vines, with plantings including Bacchus, Chardonnay, Meunier, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir. This carefully selected range of grape varieties reflects a commitment to producing both still and sparkling English wines that showcase the unique terroir of the Kentish countryside. The biodynamic approach taken by Ham Street Wines means the vineyard operates without synthetic chemicals or pesticides, instead working in harmony with natural rhythms and cycles to nurture healthy vines and expressive fruit.
Bacchus and Chardonnay form the backbone of the white wine production, offering crisp acidity and aromatic complexity that English wine drinkers have come to appreciate. The inclusion of Pinot Gris adds further variety to the portfolio, while Pinot Noir and Meunier provide the building blocks for elegant sparkling wine production. These grape varieties demonstrate how South East England wineries can successfully grow classic cool-climate wine grapes to produce wines of genuine character and quality.
Visiting Ham Street Wines offers an intimate and educational experience for wine enthusiasts. The winery welcomes visitors by appointment, allowing guests to explore the vineyard grounds, learn about biodynamic viticulture practices, and participate in guided tasting sessions. This personal approach ensures visitors receive dedicated attention and a deeper understanding of both the winemaking process and the philosophy behind biodynamic farming.
