About Little Waddon Vineyard
We’re nestled at the base of south-facing chalk and limestone downs, just inland from Chesil Beach, the West Fleet at Langton Herring, and the sea. Located within Dorset’s iconic Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the vineyard enjoys sea breezes, stunning views, and an incredible micro-climate.
The same micro-climate, shared by Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens to the west, nurtures our vines. Beneath them lies rich loam mixed with flint, chalk, and limestone atop ancient Kimmeridge Clay, providing exceptional drainage. Planted in 2004, the vineyard is home to Seyval Blanc, Regent, and Phoenix grape varieties, which thrive in this habitat, consistently yielding award-winning wines.
In 2018, Simon and Karen acquired the vineyard and began its transformation into a regenerative, sustainable, and pesticide-free haven. This slow, gentle process restores the land and vines to a natural state, free from synthetic chemicals, insecticides, and herbicides. The vineyard and its surrounding ecosystem are treated as a single living entity, now brimming with diverse wildlife and flora.
Our Seyval Blanc, Phoenix, and Regent grapes produce small-batch, wild-fermented, low-intervention wines. We avoid chemical or mechanical filtering, food colourants, added tannins, and sulphur stabilisers, even during bottling.
Our ethos is “Grape-to-Glass.” We intervene as little as possible, allowing the limestone, clay, and vibrant biodiversity to shape the authentic terroir and unique character of our wines.

One third of the grapes were whole bunch pressed with the base wine (using only the Cuvée) fermented and aged in used oak barrels. Both batches went through malolactic fermentation.

A delightfully delicate nose of wild strawberry, shortbread, citrus zest and faint red berries. Copper pink and pale in appearance, our Sparkling Rosé balances generous texture with a fine mousse. Embracing purity and precision, this debut rosé is a detailed, small-batch, low-intervention wine.
Our winemaking embraces purity, texture and balance. A detailed, small-batch, low-intervention approach allows the fruit to shine through.
"Made at contract winery Itasca by Ben Smith, who was responsible for making my highest scoring English wine of all time (2018 Oxney Chardonnay), I have no problem declaring that this is the UK’s finest Pinot Blanc to date.
The fruit comes from the Missing Gate Vineyard in Essex, where it was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed into third fill Burgundy barrels. I was lucky enough to taste a bottle late last year, and it is as lively and energetic as any white wine you will taste.
A low sulphur regime and minimal fining have left the beautiful fruit to romance your senses. This is a truly brilliant wine with sensational depth, complexity and length. It is not slippery and smooth like an Alsatian PB, but grainy, combative and textural like an epic Chablis. It is nothing short of stunning, and it is certainly the epitome of brave winemaking."
