Chartham Vineyard is part of Burnt House Farm located just outside the historic City of Canterbury in East Kent. Our vineyard was created in 2013 on part of the farm where we found the soils match the terroir of the Champagne region of France.
In 2012 we underwent an intense period of planning and preparation involving site selection and soil preparation. We chose the same variety of vines as those approved for Champagne to suit the prevailing soil and climate conditions.
After sub-soiling and harrowing, 1.6 hectares of vines were planted in May 2013 with rows orientated up and down the slope to achieve maximum sunlight exposure. In May 2014, we planted an additional 0.5 hectares of a Burgundy clone of Pinot Noir to produce colour for rosé or a still red in exceptionally good years.
We produce award-winning white, red and sparkling wines.
Our grape harvest usually takes place from mid-September through to October.
