Summer 2018 Danebury Vineyards celebrates its 25th Anniversary, making them one of the longest established Vineyards within the UK.
Danebury Vineyards, located on the former site of an historical prestigious racehorse training yard and now a boutique vineyard with seven-acres of beautiful long established vines, is located near Stockbridge, Hampshire. Danebury produces three white wines – Madeleine Angevine, Schonburger, Reserve and Cossack a sparkling brut, named after the 1846 Derby winning horse that trained onsite.
Their vines were planted before it was realised that England had the climate to grow the sparkling wine grapes – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Consequently, their grape relationship is with the adaptable Madeleine Angevine and Schonburger for the stills and Auxerrois Blanc and Pinot Gris for the sparkling.
Danebury’s presence amongst the English wine scene is reflected by their unbroken record of Silver and Bronze awards. Their place is further secured due to the quality of wines, skilfully produced by Danebury’s young winemaker Vince Gower at Stanlake Park, who ensures their quality is consistent and their style is up to date.
To mark the start of this special milestone year, Danebury held a Summer tea dance in their vineyard sharing the occasion with friends and trade customers.
