About Woodchester Valley Vineyard
In 2007, Fiona Shiner embarked on a pioneering journey, planting the first vines at Woodchester Valley Vineyard in the Cotswolds. Despite the challenges of a wet first summer, Fiona’s determination and passion for viticulture flourished. With the support of her family, Fiona expanded the vineyard, acquiring a second site and eventually a third, bringing the total area under vine to 58 acres. In 2016, a state-of-the-art winery was established, and Jeremy Mount joined as winemaker.
Fiona’s vision has borne fruit, with Woodchester Valley Vineyard producing over 100,000 bottles of award-winning still and sparkling wines annually. The vineyard has become a beloved destination, attracting over 10,000 visitors each year.
As you sit in the spacious tasting room, surrounded by the picturesque limestone valley, you’ll feel transported to the Loire Valley. Fiona’s pioneering spirit has proven that the southwest can rival the southeast in producing exceptional English wines.

Ortega is our signature wine and was one of the first varieties planted in 1969. We have been producing our popular Biddenden Ortega since 1972, and have kept the original Germanic style label as a historical memento.
Biddenden was one of the first vineyards to plant Ortega in the UK in the late 1960’s. Today Ortega covers just over half of the vineyard. Ortega grapes ripen early and are known for their low acidity and high sugar levels. Ortega is widely used in dry still wines, and can also be used to make sweet wines.

The Ortega grapes are hand-harvested and transported to the winery where they are destemmed, crushed, and pressed. The ferment was tasted daily and stopped at desired residual sugar level by chilling and filtering. The yeast was specially selected and was a sweet wine yeast Zymaflore ST. This yeast is susceptible to cold shock, making it easy to stop the ferment.
