Welcome to the Stanlake Park website.
‘Picture acres of neat vines laden with many varieties of plump grapes; Gamay, Ortega, Wurzer and the classic Champagne varieties : Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. They ripen in the warm sun and thrive in the loamy, well-drained soil before being harvested and turned into wine in the start-of-the-art and on-site winery. You're probably thinking of a vineyard in France, or Australia. But no, this is Stanlake Park Wine Estate just outside Twyford in Berkshire, and it is leading the way in English wine production’. BERKSHIRE LIFE 2006 Because of Stanlake’s location within Windsor Great Park for many centuries it has a rich and fascinating history going back to the 12th Century when it was called Hinton Pipard. The name changed to Stanlake Park in the Tudor period and the first vines were planted in 1979, when it was known as Thames Valley Vineyards. Today, Stanlake Park is one of the UK’s most successful producers. In a high yielding vintage, such as 2006, we will process 150 - 200 tons of grapes and make more individual wines than any other winery in Britain. Around a dozen of these award-winning wines are available to buy on this website or via the Cellar shop at the Vineyard, which is open every day. You will finds white, rosé and red wines. Our ‘method traditionelle’ sparkling wines are often compared in quality to Champagne. Enjoy! |   |
