The Wine

Deer Park Wines cultivates a variety of grapes including Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Bacchus, Seyval Blanc, and Reichensteiner from its 2016-planted vineyards. They produce a selection of acclaimed still and sparkling English wines, showcasing the unique terroir of their Bredon Hill location. Their wines have received international recognition, consistently earning awards from prestigious competitions. Notable accolades include a Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) Bronze Medal for their Rosé 2023, and DWWA Silver Medals for their Stag Oak Reserve and Pinot Noir. A Pinot Noir from the 2022 vintage also secured a Decanter Silver Award.

The vineyard is part of a larger 1300-acre organic farm, though Deer Park Wines is not certified as an organic wine producer. They have their own winery facilities on-site, allowing for complete control over the winemaking process from grape to bottle.
