ProducerNote

Charles and Ruth Simpson have been making award-winning wines in the South of

France since 2002. In 2012, attracted by the quality of the terroir and the opportunity to

become part of one of the most dynamic wine producing regions in the world, they

brought their expertise back to the UK, establishing Simpsons Wine Estate. Aspiring to

produce the finest quality English wine, they planted 30 hectares of vineyards on the

iconic chalk terroir of the North Downs and built a state-of-the-art gravity fed winery. In

2016, the Simpsons saw their first harvest. With a strong focus on provenance, they

produce a highly-acclaimed range of exclusively estate-grown still and sparkling wines,

including the Chalklands Classic Cuvée 2016, which won a gold medal in the 2019

Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships.

Vineyard

Simpsons Wine Estate is situated in the Elham Valley; an unspoilt seam in the North

Downs of Kent where the contours of the land, the climate and the soil are excellent for

viticulture. The intensely lime-rich chalk soil forms part of the same chalk ridge that

stretches from southern England through the Champagne region and on to Burgundy.

The Guyot trained vines are planted at a density of 4,200 vines per hectare with a

range of both sparkling and Burgundian clones on either Fercal or 41B rootstocks. They

are grown on south facing slopes, ensuring heat accumulation in the day and cold air

drainage at night. The vineyard is less than eight miles from the coast, providing a

crucial maritime influence insulating the fruit against intense temperature variations.

Pruning and harvesting takes place by hand and they are signed up to the WineGB’s

Sustainability Scheme.
