About Sixteen Ridges Vineyard

Sixteen Ridges Vineyard is a dedicated English wine producer situated in the scenic county of Worcestershire in West England. Established in 2008, this vineyard has developed a reputation for producing quality wines that showcase the potential of English viticulture in this part of the country. The vineyard currently has 5.06 hectares of vines planted, demonstrating a serious commitment to wine production that has grown steadily over the years.

The winery focuses on cultivating grape varieties well-suited to the English climate, including Phoenix, Precoce, and Seyval Blanc. These varieties reflect the thoughtful approach taken by Sixteen Ridges Vineyard in selecting grapes that can thrive in the cooler conditions of Worcestershire while still producing wines with character and quality. The use of Phoenix and Precoce grapes demonstrates an awareness of early-ripening varieties that can achieve good maturity in variable English summers.

Seyval Blanc forms an important part of the vineyard portfolio, a grape variety that has proven itself repeatedly across English vineyards for its ability to produce both still and sparkling wines. At Sixteen Ridges Vineyard, this versatile variety contributes to the winery's range of English wines, helping to create wines that reflect the unique terroir of the West England region. The combination of these three grape varieties allows the winemakers to craft wines with varying styles and profiles.
