About Moorbridge Estate

Moorbridge Estate is a young and ambitious vineyard nestled in the rolling countryside of Berkshire, within the scenic Thames and Chilterns region. Established in 2018, this winery has quickly established itself as a noteworthy name among England's expanding portfolio of quality wine producers. With approximately 19 hectares of vines under cultivation, Moorbridge Estate represents a meaningful commitment to the growth of English wine in one of the country's most promising grape growing areas.

The vineyard benefits from a favourable microclimate and soils that support the cultivation of a diverse range of grape varieties. Moorbridge Estate grows Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Ortega, Pinot Blanc, Meunier and Precoce. These varieties enable the winery to produce both still and sparkling English wines, offering breadth and versatility in its portfolio. The inclusion of traditional Champagne grapes such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier positions Moorbridge Estate to craft sparkling wines in the classic method, while the Ortega and Pinot Blanc plantings contribute to more aromatic still wine offerings.

Despite its relative youth, Moorbridge Estate has rapidly scaled its operations to become a significant producer within the Thames and Chilterns Wine Heritage Zone. The region has seen considerable growth in vineyard planting over recent years, driven by warming temperatures and growing investor confidence in English wine. Moorbridge Estate's participation in this trend reflects the broader maturation of the UK wine industry and its increasing competitiveness on the global stage.

Visitors interested in exploring Moorbridge Estate should check directly with the winery regarding current opening arrangements and visitor experiences.
