SIMPSONS ’ WINE ESTATE
Simpsons ’ Wine Estate was established in 2012 by Ruth and Charles Simpson , amid the pristine beauty of the Elham Valley – an unspoilt chalk seam in the North Downs of Kent , where the contours of the land , climate and soil could scarcely be improved upon for viticulture .
The Simpsons believe that the finest wines convey a rich sense of provenance and integrity , firmly rooted in the characteristics and exquisite nuances of their terroir . This is why they settled for nothing less than the finest parcels of land in southern England to plant their vines .
With 38 hectares now under vine and a state-of-the-art winery located within a very short distance of their three vineyard sites , the estate saw its first harvest in 2016 . Simpsons ’ Wine estate now produces a highlyacclaimed range of exclusively estate-grown English still and sparkling wines , which have received ‘ Best in Show ’, ‘ Best in Class ’ and ‘ National Champion ’ recognition from the Decanter World Wine Awards and the Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships . The estate is going from strength to strength and now has the capacity to produce upwards of 250,000 bottles of wine per year .
Simpsons ’ Wine Estate flies the flag for British luxury , both as an active member of Walpole , the organisation representing the UK ’ s luxury sector , and as one of the top English wineries to export internationally . Moreover , the Simpsons ’ team are committed to the estate ’ s environmental impact and contribution , achieving the Wines of Great Britain Sustainability Certification in July 2022 .
Simpsons is pleased to welcome visitors all year round as part of their diverse and dynamic events calendar , from weekly Tasting Experiences to summertime Sunset Sessions , plus intimate wine dinners and bi-annual Open House events . The Glass House Tasting Room provides an elegant and intimate space for celebrations and from here you can view the world-class winery . It boasts the unique attraction of a helter-skelter slide from the tasting room to the winery . We like our events to finish with an unforgettable flourish down the ‘ Fruit Chute ’ slide !
