Matt farms a south-facing 3ha vineyard high on the Leicestershire Wolds, crafting wines that reflect
soil, season and patience.
Matt grows and make every bottle. Using native yeasts, minimal handling and only what the fruit needs. The result? Wines that are expressive, honest and unmistakably English.
A note on old Land Rovers. Little Red is my daily use Series III Land Rover, very much a working vehicle as pretty as she is. Extensively restored in 2024/2025 she celebrated her 50th Birthday in April 2025. Major works were carried out by L.R Optional Equipment and she is traditionally sign written by Barker Signs
Tours are available to Hospitality and wine merchants by appointment.
Other vineyard and winery tour dates will be published in due course.
Please see Wolds Wine Estate for more regular vineyard tours
The wines and the farming are inextricably linked. One follows on from the other with the rhythm of the seasons. The wines are crafted slowly and thoughtfully, encouraging the essential nature of the year to be expressed.
Basic rules of little intervention, natural yeasts and no fining or filtration. The clear goal of delicious expressive wines.
All the wines are made by definition in limited quantities, rarely more than 1,000 bottles. Each wine may only be made once, few repeat each vintage due the nature of the English climate.
