1276 Wines
1276 Wines
1276 is an estate winery on the Wall Hills above Ledbury, Herefordshire, its vines first recorded on these slopes in the Bishop of Hereford's Red Book of 1276.
Named English White Trophy at the International Wine Challenge 2026.
1276 takes its name from the year a Bishop of Hereford's Red Book first recorded vines on the Wall Hills above Ledbury. That ecclesiastical vineyard's story lay dormant for close to 750 years before Cilla and Tim Sobey replanted the same south-facing slopes in 2012, on ground that had grown apples until then. Their son, Angus Davison, built the winery that turned the fruit into wine.
Cellar door tastings
Tastings are part of a booked tour, not a stand-alone visit: a two-hour guided walk of the vineyard and winery ending in the tasting room, or a shorter self-guided route to a bench flight of three wines. Groups of 12 or more can arrange a private tour.
