Hattingley Valley has quickly established itself as one of the UK’s most successful wineries, winning over 100 medals, 13 trophies, and three Best in Class for its English sparkling wines. It is recognised for its innovative and dynamic approach to winemaking, with award-winning English sparkling wines enjoyed throughout the UK and exported internationally to 16 countries.
The Robinson family planted their first vineyard on their farmland in 2008. They had no idea where it would lead. Emma Rice, then head winemaker, took full advantage of Simon Robinson’s lack of industry knowledge (and large chequebook) to coax him into buying the best equipment, Hattingley now have one of the most advanced wineries in the world and Simon has a much smaller chequebook.
