Simpsons Wines

The vineyards sit on south-facing slopes near the village of Barham, naturally sheltered by surrounding woodland. These conditions help protect the vines while allowing them to benefit from consistent sunlight, supporting balanced ripening and refined flavour development.

Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the estate enjoys far-reaching views across the Kent countryside, with its setting adding to the character and identity of the wines produced there.

Planting began with 10 hectares in 2014 at what is now known as Roman Road Vineyard, named after the historic route believed to have introduced vines to England during the Roman invasion. Further expansion followed between 2016 and 2017 with the development of Railway Hill Vineyard, adding an additional 20 hectares dedicated to classic grape varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir.
