The story began in 2012 when Caroline and Lance Whitehead bought the Calancombe Estate in South Devon. The estate traces it origins back to the 16th century. It's location between Dartmoor and the coast provides a unique microclimate. Combine that with south-facing slopes and free draining soil and the Estate is ideally suited for wine production.
After taking advice from a leading viticulturist the first vines were planted in 2013. The total plantings now exceed 23 acres making the Estate one of the largest in South Devon to produces its own wines.
