The light morning mists of late summer and early autumn, combined with the relatively cool microclimate which exists at the foot of the gently sloping North Downs Way, allows Godstone’s grapes to develop wonderful aromas which are part of the unique personality and “terroir” of Godstone Wine. The Deeley family first planted vines at Godstone in 1985 and enjoyed their first vintage in 1988.
The vineyard is set in fifty acres of glorious countryside and the vines are grown on a gentle south-facing slope with free-draining Upper Greensand soil. Three varieties of grapes are grown: Seyval Blanc, Dornfelder, and Bacchus, to produce White, Rosé, and Sparkling Wine. Godstone Wines are grown and vinified in the modern tradition, ensuring that they encapsulate the fresh floral bouquet and crisp acidic finish that you have come to appreciate in English wines.
