Ruth and Charles Simpson have been creating award-winning wines at their stunning , southern French Domaine , since 2002 . In 2012 they brought their savoir-faire back to the UK , establishing Simpsons ’ Wine Estate in Kent .
The Estate is situated amid the pristine beauty of the Elham Valley
– an unspoilt seam in the North Downs where the contours of the land , climate and soil could scarcely be improved upon for
viticulture .

The Simpsons ’ vineyards occupy glorious positions on these sunny , sheltered slopes , protected from the whimsy of the English climate by ancient woodland and anchored in the iconic chalky soils so highly revered in the world of wine .
The Estate now has 38 hectares ( 112 acres ) of planted vineyards and a state-of-the-art winery and visitor facility , ideally located within walking distance of the vines .
With a strong focus on provenance , the Simpsons have created a highly-acclaimed range of exclusively estate-grown still and sparkling wines , which can be found in some of the finest retail and dining outlets , both nationally and internationally .
