Hattingley Valley

Hattingley Valley is a family owned business located in Hampshire specialising in premium English sparkling wines. In 2008 the first 28 acre south facing site was planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Alongside Emma Rice the Robinson family planned the modern, eco-friendly winery in Wield that was completed in 2010. It uses the latest technology and equipment from continental Europe, has sophisticated waste disposal facilities and was the first UK winery to adopt solar power. The vines are nurtured throughout the growing year with an environmentally-sensitive approach to viticulture ensuring optimum ripeness, yield and quality of fruit.

“This year UK viticulture saw one of its largest harvests to date and here in Hampshire, it was no different. It’s fair to say that this vintage will be characterised as a rollercoaster, with plenty of rainfall and extremely high yields. Fortunately, our vineyard and winery teams did an excellent job at managing these challenges and we came out with a good (if slightly diluted) quality of fruit, despite the British summer. But, of course, when you get down to it, there’s much more to it than that…”
