Southcott Vineyard Partnership

Situated beneath the iconic White Horse in Wiltshire, Southcott Vineyard is a small, family-run estate on the outskirts of the charming village of Pewsey, dedicated to producing exceptional English sparkling wines. Established in 2005 by the Ingram Hill family, this boutique vineyard has built an impressive reputation for quality over its two decades of operation.

Southcott Vineyard: Site and Grape Varieties

The vineyard focuses exclusively on the three classic Champagne grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. This commitment to the traditional varieties reflects Southcott's ambition to produce sparkling wines that can stand alongside the finest from anywhere in the world. The Wiltshire chalk soils, similar to those of Champagne, provide the perfect foundation for these noble grapes.

Southcott's dedication to quality has been recognised with numerous awards. Most notably, their Brut won a Gold Medal at the WineGB 2023 national competition, following Silver Medals at both national and regional levels. The vineyard also won the Roger Marchbank Cup for the best sparkling wine from a vineyard under two hectares, demonstrating that scale is no barrier to excellence.

Visitors can experience Southcott's award-winning wines by appointment, enjoying the peaceful setting beneath one of England's most famous landmarks. The combination of traditional grape varieties, careful viticulture, and experienced winemaking creates sparkling wines that capture the essence of the English countryside while delivering the sophistication expected of premium fizz. Southcott proves that small family vineyards can achieve remarkable results through passion and dedication.
