Laurel Vines Vineyard & Winery: Site and Grape Varieties

The vineyard benefits from the increasingly favourable conditions for viticulture in England. Climate change has extended growing seasons and improved grape ripeness potential, while accumulated expertise across the industry means new vineyards can learn from decades of pioneering work by earlier producers.

Grape-to-glass winemaking - where the same estate grows the grapes and produces the wine - allows for complete control over quality at every stage. This approach enables winemakers to make real-time decisions based on conditions in their specific vineyard, resulting in wines that genuinely express their particular terroir.

The English wine industry has demonstrated that quality is possible across an expanding range of grape varieties. While sparkling wines have earned the most international attention, still wines from varieties like Bacchus, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and numerous hybrid varieties are also winning awards and critical acclaim.

Vineyards like Laurel Vines play an important role in building the English wine scene, providing options for consumers interested in supporting local producers and reducing food miles. The environmental benefits of drinking locally produced wine, combined with the distinctive character of English wines, make them an increasingly attractive choice.

For wine enthusiasts seeking to explore beyond familiar regions and styles, English vineyards offer genuine discovery. Each producer brings their own philosophy, grape variety choices, and winemaking approach, creating a diverse industry united by commitment to quality. Laurel Vines Vineyard & Winery contributes to this exciting tapestry of English wine production.
