Kingscote Vineyard

About Kingscote Vineyard

Kingscote Vineyard is a thriving organic wine estate set within the beautiful West Sussex countryside, part of the renowned South East England wine region. Established in 2011, this substantial vineyard spans 24.28 hectares of carefully tended vines and has built a strong reputation for producing high quality English wines using sustainable, chemical free viticulture. The estate is certified organic, reflecting a deep commitment to protecting the land and nurturing the natural character of the grapes.

The vineyard is located in the scenic area surrounding RH19 4LG, placing it within the heart of English wine country. The combination of West Sussex's rolling landscape, free draining soils and a favourable microclimate creates ideal conditions for growing a diverse range of grape varieties. Kingscote Vineyard cultivates Bacchus, Chardonnay, Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Regent and Solaris, giving the winemaking team an excellent palette of fruit to work with across still wines, sparkling wines and everything in between.

The Solaris and Bacchus grapes contribute aromatic white wines with vibrant fruit character, while the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties form the backbone of the estate's sparkling wine production. Pinot Blanc adds further complexity and finesse, and the inclusion of Meunier brings depth and roundness to the blends. Regent rounds out the portfolio with additional flexibility for red and rosé styles. This broad grape portfolio means visitors to Kingscote can enjoy an equally diverse selection of wines throughout the year.

Kingscote Vineyard is open to the public, welcoming visitors for tours, tutored tastings and relaxed experiences among the vines. Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast or new to English wine, the team offers an accessible and enjoyable introduction to what the estate has to offer. Bookings can be made via the Kingscote Estate website, and visits are a popular choice for anyone exploring the South East winery scene. Between the serene vineyard setting, the quality of the wines and the passion behind every bottle, Kingscote Vineyard stands as a destination worth discovering for lovers of UK vineyards and English wine alike.
