About us
We believe that good winemaking starts in the vineyard. We impose the highest quality standards on our growers to deliver ripe and clean fruit and always quality control the grapes when they arrive at our winery during the harvest period. Only the very best fruit will be selected to go into Chapel Down Wines. The range and variety of grapes (from Bacchus to Pinot Noir) grown on the chalk downs or Essex clays, produce unique and exiting wines that you won’t taste anywhere else.

The winery
Chapel Down boasts a state of the art winery and produces all wines on the estate, both still and sparkling. The grapes are hand-picked and transported to the winery in small bins. All still wines and sparkling base wines are fermented with selected yeast strains at cool temperatures for up to 3 weeks. Some maturation of sparkling base wines and red wines occurs in French and American oak barriques.
