About Webb's Land Vineyard
Webb's Land Vineyard is a charming Hampshire vineyard nestled in the Wessex region of England, situated near the postcode PO17 5NS. Established in 1993, this vineyard has over three decades of experience cultivating vines in one of England's most promising wine-growing counties. With approximately 3.21 hectares of planted vines, Webb's Land Vineyard represents the dedicated, craft-focused approach to English wine production that characterises many of the smaller wineries across the South Downs and surrounding countryside.
The vineyard focuses on a carefully selected range of grape varieties that are well suited to the Hampshire terroir. Bacchus takes pride of place among their plantings, a variety that has become one of the most celebrated white grapes in English winemaking. Bacchus wines are known for their aromatic, herbaceous character and bright acidity, making them a favourite among connoisseurs of English still wines. Alongside Bacchus, the vineyard also cultivates Precoce, a notably early-ripening variety that benefits from Hampshire's variable climate by reaching optimal maturity ahead of cooler autumn conditions. Reich adds further diversity to the vineyard's plantings, contributing to the range of wines produced at this Wessex estate.
The combination of these varieties enables Webb's Land Vineyard to produce wines that reflect the unique qualities of their Hampshire terroir. The moderate maritime climate of the South Downs provides the long growing season necessary for aromatic grapes to develop complexity and balance. While production remains modest due to the vineyard's scale, every bottle represents a hands-on approach to viticulture and winemaking that prioritises quality over quantity.
