Sharpham Estate, Totnes, South Devon
A testament to how good English wines can be
At the forefront of vine growing and wine making in the UK, Sharpham is widely recognised as producing some of England's most outstanding wines. They have been producing wine for nearly twenty five years. Their wines are stylish and offer intense fruit flavours and aromas, which are made from carefully selected grape varieties grown on both their own sheltered slopes overlooking the River Dart, and occasionally from other carefully selected vineyards across England. Traditional and new world techniques are employed resulting in a range of distinctive and carefully balanced wines. Their spectacular awards tally includes Regional, National and International medals. Sharpham were the first English wines to be listed by CPW and they have been on our list ever since.
This thousand year old farm consists of five hundred acres owned by the Sharpham Trust. The house, designed in 1770 by Sir Robert Taylor, overlooks the fields and wooded slopes above the River Dart, two miles downstream of the ancient market town of Totnes. Sharpham's aim today is to farm successfully in the modern context and to produce world class wine and cheese in harmony with the environment and the natural beauty of the Estate. Sharpham Partnership is the trading name for the diversified activities run on the family estate. Situated on the banks of the River Dart near Totnes in South Devon, the vineyards, creamery and organic dairy farm have been producing wines and unpasteurised cheeses for over twenty years to local, national and international acclaim. By producing their own Jersey cow's milk on the farm and growing a range of carefully selected cool climate grapes varieties in the vineyard, they are able to control production from start to finish. The results are individual, hand made wines and cheeses which have a special character and flavour that relates to this unique position in the South Hams area of Devon.
