The Wine at Wolds Wine Estate

Wolds Wine Estate has approximately 4,000 vines planted across around 3.3 acres. Grape varieties include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier for sparkling wines, alongside Rondo for red wines and Solaris for whites. All wines are produced on site using a low-intervention, natural approach, with wild fermentation, 100% juice, and minimal additions to reflect the local landscape. The estate’s first wines were released in 2024 and include a still pink wine, Chardonnay, a lightly sparkling red, an orange wine, and a Solaris-based white. Alongside wine, the estate also produces cider, which has received awards at the British Cider Championships. Sustainability is central to the estate’s operation. The vineyard maintains beehives for honey production and uses sheep and pigs for natural grass control and soil enrichment. A traditional orchard planted in 2022 is managed without pesticides, with apples picked by hand for cider production. All winemaking is carried out on site in the estate’s own winery.
