- Offering 3 reviews of Eastcott Vineyard in Okehampton
Eastcott Vineyard lies within easy reach of the A30 in central West Devon and nestles in a delightful sheltered vale, a few miles north-west of Okehampton. The vineyard enjoys well drained gently south-east facing slopes above a valley carved by a tributary of the River Lew. From the top of the vineyard the highest point of Dartmoor National Park is just visible beyond a ridge that provides crucial shelter.
Our grape varieties have been carefully chosen to suit the English climate and for the production of high quality sparkling wine, as well as a range of white, rose and red wines. Production times for sparkling wine extend for up to three years and so we will be building the range year on year. Please see the Winespage for details of current products and future release dates.
Our state of the art, temperature controlled, 260m2 winery went into production in 2008. The equipment includes a sophisticated pneumatic press, capable of the very gentle processing required to produce the highest quality juice, and modern variable capacity stainless steel tanks for controlled fermentation and storage.
The English wine industry is enjoying excellent growth, with leading retailer Waitrose reporting a sales increase of English wine of 97% in 2009. English wine production is expanding and wines from the UK are now being widely recognised.
"People are drinking it because they are concerned about the carbon footprint. It is also lower in alcohol than many other wines – typically with an ABV [alcohol by volume] of 11.5%. English sparkling wines are a top quality, affordable alternative to champagne." 15/11/09 Guardian
