Winklestone Vineyard

We have lived in Fairwarp on the Ashdown Forest for over 20 years. We planted our small vineyard in an adjacent paddock in 2020. We are a small, family run business, tending our vines by hand, with great care and attention to detail. Our goal is to produce wine as sustainably as we possibly can, making as little impact to the beautiful environment that surrounds us. Look out on our Instagram for any local events we will be attending and feel free to drop in to the vineyard in Fairwarp, try our lovely wine and have a chat with us. Our approach is focussed on sustainbility through ethical practices, low intervention and regenerative farming principles. We are certified organic and use no pesticides or herbicides. We operate a zero–till policy, this improves soil health, reduces soil erosion and increases organic matter within the soil. Our bottles are made from 75% recycled glass and all of our packaging is plastic–free. Bottle labels are printed on recycled paper. The bottle caps are made from biodegradable wood pulp. We operate and encourage a bottle return scheme, re–using bottles as many times as possible. We re–used 50% of our bottles from our 2023 vintage. If you purchase online please return it to us if you can.
