About Simpsons’ Wine Estate
At Simpsons’ Wine Estate, we believe that exceptional wines are rooted in their terroir. That’s why we carefully selected the finest parcels of land in southern England to plant our vines. Our estate is nestled in the picturesque Elham Valley, an unspoilt seam in the North Downs of Kent, boasting pristine beauty, a favourable climate, and iconic chalky soils.
Our vineyards occupy glorious positions on the sunny, sheltered slopes of the village of Barham, protected from the English climate by ancient woodland. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), our vineyards offer breathtaking views of the English countryside.
We planted our first 10 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir in 2014 at our Roman Road Vineyard, situated alongside the ancient Roman road. We expanded to 20 additional hectares at our Railway Hill Vineyard in 2016 and 2017.
Our intensely lime-rich chalk soil, part of the same chalk ridge that stretches from southern England to Champagne and Burgundy, is ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. This soil type provides the perfect balance of drainage and water absorption, allowing our vines to thrive.

Albourne Estate Multi-Vintage Sparkling (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
As its name suggests this wine is made of selected base wines from multiple vintages to produce an approachable and immediately enjoyable style. Others call this style ‘non-vintage’ – we just prefer the name ‘multi-vintage’! The blend of this wine will vary slightly each year in order to maintain a consistent style, but it will typically be a combination of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier and will undergo 3 years on-lees ageing.
Generous and soft on the palate, this wine is open and expressive, exhibiting delightful panettone-like aromas of sweet baked bread, dried apricots, nuts and candied citrus peels.
Court Garden Ditchling Sparkling Quartet (6 Bottles) Ditchling, East Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
This blend replaces our highly successful Ditchling Reserve. Using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir Précoce, the wine has been longer in reserve and a large proportion has been barrel aged before bottling. Long aging on the lees has ensured a rich, but still fruity balance. Also awarded a gold medal at the 2021 International Wines & Spirits Competition; the judges commented “Stunning nose of honeycomb, bruised apple and brioche – like a fine dessert with apple four ways. It has lovely poise, classy and complex all held in perfect poise by the bright quintessentially English acidity”.

The 2018 is made from 63% Chardonnay, 19% Pinot Noir and 18% Pinot Meunier. With 5 years maturing in the bottle on lees, it has plenty of yeast character combined with the suprisingly youthful fruit. This is a wine that is delicious now and will develop further over the long term.
Harrow & Hope Pinot Meunier 2019 (6 Bottles) Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
85% of this wine was fermented in stainless steel to preserve the unique aromatic qualities of this variety. The rest was fermented in a 500 litre oak puncheon to build structure and length. This is a naturally soft and elegant wine with a subtle floral nose but also has a savory, saline edge. The palate has a moreish quality because of the soft acid profile and elegant almost feather light feel, with the saline finish really drawing you back to have another glass. This wine seems to get better every time I try it. Being the first iteration it’s difficult to say how long it might go on for but if balance is the key to longevity then this has it in abundance.

On the nose, vibrant aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and a hint of toasted brioche entice the senses. The palate offers a delightful interplay of creamy texture and bright acidity, revealing layers of lemon curd, crisp pear, and subtle hazelnut. A refined minerality underpins the flavours, leading to a clean, enduring finish. Disgorged in February 2024, this wine showcases precision and artistry, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Raimes Demi-Sec 2017 (6 Bottles) Alresford, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
A full bodied style that is lifted and fresh. Baked apple, ripe lemon, peach blossom and brioche. Super delicious!
Raimes Demi Sec 92 points "A Charming beautifully poised demi-sec sparkler from Raimes of South Downs. Bruised apple over a savoury tone of yeast. Partial ageing in oak followed by 42 months on lees gave the 2017 vintage a concentrated, textured palate of red apple, brioche and umami... The well-balanced red fruit sweetness comes from 34 g/l of sugar offset by 10g/l of acid with more weight and hazelnuts on the finish. Moreish and long.
