Kingsthorne
Kingsthorne
Kingsthorne grows 29 acres of vines across two Gloucestershire sites, Flaxley and Longney, on an estate that describes a history of winemaking stretching back 1,100 years.
Named English Seyval Sparkling Trophy at the International Wine Challenge 2025.
The estate describes a history of winemaking at Flaxley running back 1,100 years. Kingsthorne farms 22.5 acres of that 140-acre estate near Newnham, Gloucestershire, in deep silty loam over red Raglan mudstone, and a further 6.5 acres five miles south at Longney, where the soil turns to lime-rich clay loam over blue lias, a mudstone laid down in shallow Jurassic seas.
Cellar door tastings
Tastings are in the cellar door, a former cattle building at the heart of Home Farm that holds the shop and tasting room. A member of the team leads a tutored flight of still and sparkling wines. Drop-ins are welcome subject to staff availability, and guided vineyard tours are pre-booked.
