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.

Blackberry and black cherry on the nose, red berry fruits too and subtle musky perfume.
There is gentle baking spice character, reminiscent of demerara sugar – but not sweet! The palate is medium bodied, filled with concentrated berries and baked citrus.

Crafted from grapes harvested from the sunniest corner of the vineyard, this Sparkling Red marks an exciting debut. A delightful blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, it charms with its playful and fruit-forward character.
On the nose, it evokes the vibrant aroma of fresh strawberries on a warm summer’s day. The palate delivers a harmonious medley of cherry, wild berries, and a subtle touch of liquorice and spice, all beautifully balanced by a distinctive chalky acidity, a hallmark of the South Downs terroir.
Effervescent and undeniably captivating, this wine is as much a celebration as it is an indulgence.

The tangerine zest leads seamlessly onto the palate. With a wonderfully intense fruit flavour. A rich and complex finish of oyster shell and lemon.
Our ‘Kentish’ Blanc de Noirs is a wine of yin and yang. The traditional ripe Blanc de Noir flavour of red apple and blackcurrant combine with linear citrus and oyster shell characteristics noticeable in all of Balfour’s vintage wines. The result is a wine of wonderful tension, vibrancy, and complexity.

Good structure with a clean finish and attractive bready, baked notes. Intense and supple, this is clean, fresh and has depth. Made by the traditional method with Pinot Noir, Reichensteiner and Scheurebe.
Pinot Noir is one of the primary varieties used in sparkling wine production. It prefers a cooler climate and needs to remain on the vine long enough to capture the aromatics and fruit flavors.
