About Penstock Estate Vineyard

Penstock Estate Vineyard is a dedicated wine-producing estate set within the beautiful Kent countryside, one of England's most celebrated wine regions. Established in 2017, the vineyard spans 11.50 hectares of carefully tended vines planted with a thoughtful selection of grape varieties including Bacchus, Chardonnay, Meunier, Ortega and Pinot Noir. This diverse planting allows the estate to craft an impressive range of English wines that reflect both the quality and character of the Kent landscape.

The vineyard's location in the South East of England places it squarely within the heart of the English wine industry, where the chalky soils and favourable climate create ideal conditions for cool-climate viticulture. Bacchus, a variety well suited to English growing conditions, contributes aromatic and crisp wines to the estate's portfolio. The inclusion of classic sparkling wine varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir suggests a commitment to producing both still and sparkling English wines of real distinction. Ortega adds further complexity, while Meunier brings additional depth to the blends, rounding out a portfolio that showcases the versatility of English viticulture.
