The Great British Vineyards Guide

Discover this small but select privately owned vineyard nestling on the southern slopes of the Malvern Hills and sheltered by oak and other traditional English trees and capable of producing in its light well drained sandy soil high quality red and white grapes in abundance, weather permitting with the wines being professionally produced locally in Gloucestershire by Three Choirs to the highest standards. English wines at their best. The vineyard is named after the most southerly hill in the Malvern Hills chain which rises immediately above the vineyard. Its name in turn is attributed to it being the meeting point of two historic fox hunting circuits, the Ledbury Hunt and the South Worcestershire Hunt. Our logo is the contented looking fox which has made it to the end of the hunting area without being caught!

This well established vineyard was first planted in 2006 with a mix of Rondo, Regent and Bacchus grapes which have thrived in the light well drained sandy soils of Bromsberrow in Gloucestershire and benefiting from the unique Malvern Hills microclimate. It started on a jointly owned basis but since 2020 it has been wholly owned and family managed by Rufus and Elizabeth of Hatch Farm next door. From the outset the grapes produced have been supplied to Three Choirs Vineyard in nearby Newent which is one of the most highly regarded wine producers in England. They convert our grapes into delicious red, rose and white still wines to our specification and they also provide us with a delightful dry Sparkling wine. The result is a select range of English wines of the highest quality produced with the highest standards and professionalism.
