The Grange Wines

The beautiful Grange Estate has been planted on the Hampshire Downs at the Western end of the South Downs, just East of Winchester. Owned by the Barings for 200 years it’s a real family affair which is overseen by the youngest of four siblings Zam, with the help of Sam Philippot in the vineyards and more recently Harry Pickering in the winery.

The family planted 52,000 vines in 2011 on a 30 acre south facing slope called Burgess Field which overlooks the River Itchen. Great wines are made in the vineyard and this is the perfect spot to grow great grapes with hundreds of metres of white chalk just below the surface in common with Champagnes famous vineyards. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier have all been planted on the one site and a new fully equipped winery was completed next to the vineyards in 2024.
