The Wine at Maud Heath Vineyard

Maud Heath Vineyard cultivates a variety of grapes including Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Bacchus, Rondo, and some newly planted Sauvignon Blanc and Precoce. From these vines, they produce a selection of still white, sparkling white, and still red wines. Their notable wines include the crisp Bacchus White, a rich Chardonnay, and their highly regarded Tytherton Red-a blend of Pinot Noir and Rondo. They also produce a delightful Sparkling Pinot Noir Rosé.

Their wines have garnered numerous accolades, consistently winning awards from prestigious competitions. Recent successes include multiple awards at the Decanter and International Wine Challenge competitions in 2020: their Chardonnay 2018 received a Silver medal, while the Tytherton Red 2018, Bacchus 2018, and Pinot Noir Sparkling Rosé 2015 all earned Bronze medals.

While Maud Heath Vineyard emphasizes sustainable practices in their tours, specific certifications such as Organic or Regenerative are not explicitly mentioned. The wines are produced by Litmus Wines, indicating that the vineyard itself does not have an on-site winery.
