Description
About Laurel Vines
Laurel Vines is a unique, low-carbon, and environmentally conscious vineyard with an on-site winery, nestled in the rural hamlet of Aike, East Yorkshire, between the market towns of Beverley and Driffield. Our vineyard sits on soils underlain by Cretaceous Chalk, a porous limestone rich in calcium carbonate, which creates ideal conditions for vine cultivation. These well-structured, permeable soils retain moisture while ensuring excellent drainage, enabling us to produce high-quality yields regardless of weather conditions.
Since launching in 2013, we have expanded both our knowledge and scale, producing over 10 vintages and continuously refining our craft. In 2022, we proudly introduced our first sparkling wine, made using the traditional Champagne method—a skilled, labour-intensive process our team mastered through dedicated training and research.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We practise gentle pruning techniques to ensure vine longevity and use organic pest and fertiliser treatments to minimise reliance on agrochemicals. Managing every step of production, from grape harvest to bottling, we are committed to delivering exceptional quality in every bottle.
At Laurel Vines, we take pride in our innovative approach, creating wines that reflect the unique terroir of our region while respecting the environment. From still to sparkling wines, our passion and dedication shine through, offering something truly distinctive to wine lovers.
