Davenport Vineyards is relatively new (for a vineyard), but rapidly becoming a leader in the English wine scene. Their original vineyard was planted in 1991 in Kent, and they now have 12 acres of vines, all managed organically under UK Soil Association Certification. The winery in Sussex is one of the best equipped in England, and since 1995 Davenport Vineyards have developed a reputation based on the quality and individuality of their English wines.
