Simpsons Wine Estate

The Simpsons’ vineyards occupy glorious positions on the sunny, sheltered slopes of the North Downs of Kent, protected from the whimsy of the English climate by ancient woodland and anchored in the iconic chalky soils so highly revered in the world of both still and sparkling wine. On their French wine estate, the award-winning Domaine Sainte Rose in the Languedoc region, the Simpsons have always pursued the cleaner, truer flavours of the grape, and are now bringing this savoir-faire to their English vineyards. With rootstock meticulously matched to the soil and a new world-class winery just minutes from the vines, quality is the watchword.

2024 vintage report

Although the volume has not been as bountiful as in other years, the quality is certainly there, so overall, we are very pleased with what we have been able to achieve in 2024. The lower yields have offered more in the way of concentration and the ferments and base wines are progressing well and showing great promise. We cannot wait to share the fruits of our labour with you and look forward to celebrating our tenth harvest next year.

2024 has been another exciting year for Simpsons’ Wine Estate, including being shortlisted for Walpole’s “British Luxury Brand of the Year” award and our Railway Hill Rosé 2023 being crowned “Best Still Rosé” at the WineGB Awards. Plus, we are being poured on Belmond’s British Pullman train and in Club World on British Airways, whilst also continuing our sustainability and community-building journeys. We raise our glasses to you and thank you for your continued support.
