About Red Admiral Vineyards
Red Admiral Vineyards is a charming English vineyard nestled in the beautiful countryside of Hampshire, situated within the Wessex wine region of England. Established in 2013, this boutique vineyard spans approximately 2.34 hectares of carefully tended vines and has earned a reputation for producing high quality English wines that showcase the unique terroir of the Hampshire countryside.
The vineyard specialises in cultivating three distinguished grape varieties that thrive in the English climate. Bacchus takes pride of place among the plantings, a variety that has proven particularly well suited to southern England and is celebrated for producing aromatic white wines with crisp acidity and vibrant fruit characteristics. The Chardonnay plantings reflect the grape variety that has become synonymous with English sparkling wine excellence, contributing to both still and sparkling wine productions at the vineyard. Completing the trio is Pinot Noir, the versatile grape that serves as the backbone of world class English sparkling wines as well as elegant still red and rose offerings.
The name Red Admiral draws inspiration from the striking butterfly species frequently spotted fluttering among the vineyard rows, connecting the winemaking enterprise to the natural landscape that surrounds it. This thoughtful naming reflects the vineyard's appreciation for the Hampshire environment and the delicate ecosystem that contributes to its winemaking story.
