About Halfpenny Green Wine Estate
It was the vision of farmer Martin Vickers 30 years ago to plant a vineyard that would one day match continental sites. The Estate’s winery was built in 2005 and produces between 50-60,000 bottles of own-label wine each year, all made using grapes grown on site. In addition to being sold in the shop, Halfpenny Green’s wines are also stocked in many farm shops and delis throughout the region.
Today, 30 acres of vines are managed by Martin and produce award-winning wines crafted by his son Clive. A family business, the acclaimed shop, restaurant & tea rooms are run by Clive’s wife Lisa, and offer a great day out for visitors. “It was my vision to create a vineyard on a par with continental sites. I am really proud of the quality of vines we grow today.” Martin Vickers – Founder and Vineyard Manager.
Halfpenny Green Wine Estate is situated 250ft above sea level in well-sheltered south facing slopes, with light, sandy free-draining soil. The vines, spread over 30 acres, are comprised of sixteen different varieties, each producing a different grape. Familiar varieties such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir feature prominently, and are used in producing the Estate’s award-winning sparkling wines, amongst others.
Due to the cooler climate, a variety of weather-hardy grapes are also grown throughout the site, including varieties such as Bacchus, Huxelrebe, Madeleine Angevine, Regent, Rondo and Schönburger, to name a few. This means that, even with the Great British weather, the vines still have good yield and produce high quality grapes.

This wine pairs perfectly with charcuterie, olives and mature cheeses. Do not chill too much and don't worry about the sediment, its natural and brings character to the wine.

The source of the River Dart begins way up in the heart of the moors, and it's the river that influences how our grapes grow.
