The Wine

Return to contents
Terlingham Vineyard grows a mix of traditional and hybrid grape varieties including Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Bacchus, Dornfelder, and Rondo. These are used to produce a range of still white, red, and rosé wines, alongside sparkling wines.

Winemaking takes place on site on a small scale, with wines produced in limited quantities. The vineyard places a strong emphasis on low-intervention and sustainable approaches in both the vineyard and winery, aiming to work closely with nature and minimise unnecessary inputs where possible.
