Viticulture

We advise landowners, investors and established operators on the acquisition, establishment, financial planning, and management of vineyards and wine businesses.

Long gone are the days when the words ‘English’ and ‘wine’ were considered strange bedfellows.

Climate change is creating increasingly favourable growing conditions in the UK, and investment in planting, infrastructure and knowledge has enabled our wine industry to grow steadily over the past two decades. Our viticulture property specialists combine in-depth sector expertise, a track record of securing land for leading producers, and strong industry relationships, positioning them at the forefront of this rapid industry growth. They have helped secure viticultural land for Champagne Taittinger, Champagne Pommery, Chapel Down and Nyetimber.
