Parsonage Farm Vineyard

About Parsonage Farm Vineyard

Nestled in the heart of Essex within the East Anglia region, Parsonage Farm Vineyard represents a thoughtful and dedicated addition to England's flourishing wine landscape. Established in 2018, this modest yet ambitious vineyard has spent recent years carefully developing its plantings and refining its approach to winemaking in one of England's most promising agricultural regions.

Parsonage Farm Vineyard occupies a prime position in Essex, a county that has steadily built its reputation as a significant contributor to English wine production. The East Anglia geography offers a favourable combination of free-draining soils, adequate sunlight, and sheltered conditions that allow winemakers to successfully cultivate a range of grape varieties. With approximately 2.00 hectares under vine, the estate operates on an intimate scale that enables meticulous attention to viticultural practices and a hands-on approach throughout the growing season.

The vineyard's planting programme centres on four carefully selected grape varieties that each bring distinct character to the estate's wines. Bacchus, a beloved English wine variety, takes a prominent role in the vineyard and produces wines celebrated for their aromatic intensity and crisp, refreshing acidity. The inclusion of Chardonnay reflects the versatility of this internationally recognised grape, capable of yielding both elegant still wines and serving as a foundation for traditional method sparkling wines. Pinot Gris adds complexity and textural richness to the portfolio, while Precoce, an early-ripening variety, ensures reliable harvests even in the variable English climate.
