The Wine

Little Wold Vineyard cultivates over 12,000 vines across various white and red grape varieties, producing a range of seven different wines. Their portfolio includes sparkling wines like 'Henry's Harvest' and 'Heathers', along with limited edition traditional method sparkling wines such as Alice's Cuvée (a rosé) and Tom's Cuvée from the 2018 vintage. Still wines include the white 'Barley Hill White', a blend known for fruity notes, and 'James' View', which is herbaceous with hints of nettle and citrus. Their popular 'Poppy Hill Rosé' is a medium-dry still rosé with summer berry notes, and they also produce a red wine called 'Three Cocked Hat'.

The vineyard's wines have received notable recognition. The 'Poppy Hill Rosé' was awarded a trophy for the highest scoring wine in the North in 2019 and was named Best Still Wine by Wine GB North and Midlands in 2018. Their 'Three Cocked Hat' red wine has earned a Silver Medal from Wines of Great Britain, with earlier accolades also received for 'Barley Hill White' and 'Chalk Hill White'. The vineyard itself received the Farmer's Weekly magazine's Diversification of the Year Award in 2020.

Little Wold Vineyard demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainable practices and biodiversity. Over half of their land is dedicated to purposes beyond wine production, including 80 acres planted with low-maintenance willow. Their vineyard is largely maintained by hand, minimising machinery use and emissions. In their packaging, they have removed foils from sparkling wine bottles and reuse cardboard boxes for shipping. The vineyard also boasts its own on-site winery, established in 2022, which significantly reduces transport fuel usage for grapes, draws water from natural sources, and returns waste to the land.
