SUMMARY Priors Dean Vineyard was first planted in 1988 and has been in the same family since before then. The vineyard is situated on a steep, free draining, south facing slope, approximately 150m (492 feet) above sea level.
The vineyard extends to approximately 0.73 hectares (1.80 acres) and overall, the property extends to approximately 0.89 hectares (2.20 acres) which includes a small wild flower meadow on the western side.
Priors Dean Vineyard presents an ideal opportunity for a lifestyle buyer to enjoy what has been created or to invest and produce their own wine in conjunction with a local winery. The site also presents tourism opportunities (STPP).
THE VINEYARD The varieties grown are Bacchus, Madeleine Angevine and Seyval Blanc, which have all been proved to produce excellent white wine under English conditions.
The vines have been planted in sequence as opposed to blocks, thereby aiding pollination. The vines have been trained on a Geneva double curtain trellis, a high-training system enabling the grapes to form at the top, which exposes them to sunlight, aids air circulation and above the ground frost.
The Soilscape for England describes the soils as being lime rich soils over chalk.
The vineyard benefits from a small machinery store and a summer house.
