Ham Street Wines |
The Vineyard was established in 2019 and certified organic following regenerative and biodynamic principles. We are situated just outside the village of Hamstreet in Kent, in the heart of a real hot spot for quality English wine. In 2019 we planted over 16,000 vines across 10 acres with a mix of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Bacchus and Pinot Gris vines, took our first harvest in 2021 and released our first wines in 2022
To make an exceptional wine you need exceptional fruit. To grow that we need to encourage our vines to produce grapes of exceptional ripeness and quality, grapes which are a true expression of our vineyard and vintage. That's why we are certified organic, converting to be biodynamic and follow regenerative agriculture practices in managing our vineyard.
Our wines are natural, meaning we don't add anything to the end product either ! At the heart of the vineyard is a healthy soil, which is teeming with a complex array of life is our goal. We need to build up the quality of our soil, reduce chemical inputs to an absolute minimum and bring life into our vineyard. When we get the conditions right an ecosystem can flourish below ground and above it.
Our wines are all grown in small batches, natural wines made from our own grapes, crafted to show off the best of that particular vintage with minimal additions and interventions in the winery. That means our wines will be different year on year, and some styles may only appear intermittently as we follow what nature gives us.
