About Hattingley Valley

An eco-friendly winery producing remarkable sparkling wines
Located in rural Hampshire in England, Hattingley Valley produce Methode Traditionnelle sparkling wines from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier; partially barrel fermented base wines undergo a secondary fermentation in bottle, and are then aged on lees in the cellar for several years before being disgorged for sale.

What originally started as a farm diversification project by the Robinson family back in 2008 on south-facing, chalk-based slopes, has grown to become one of the UK’s most successful wineries. To date, Hattingley Valley has won over 79 medals, 13 trophies, and three Best in Class for its English sparkling wines.

The soil in Southern England is essentially the same Kimmeridgian limestone as in Northern France. More consistent warmer summers have enabled Hattingley Valley to ripen traditional grapes sufficiently for the production of high-quality English sparkling wines.

VinAccessGlobal and Hattingley Valley have been working together since 2020. Distribution discussions are currently underway with importers across Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand.

Hattingley Valley’s range comprises of three award-winning sparkling wines
Hattingley Valley Classic Reserve NV

Vintage Rose Hattingley Valley

Vintage Rose

A blend of Pinot Noir 58%, Pinot Meunier 38%, and 4% Pinot Précoce to enhance the colour and body. Vintage Rose is aged 24 months on the lees before disgorgement and release. The Rose has won even more medals and awards than the Classic Reserve NV!

Hattingley Valley Blanc de Blancs

Blanc de Blancs

Highly regarded by UK wine critics, Blanc de Blancs is made from 100% Chardonnay. A small proportion is fermented in old oak barrels, and partial malolactic fermentation is encouraged. The finished blend is aged five years on lees in bottle to add complexity and depth.

A few words from Alison, VinAccessGlobal Founder

“I tasted Hattingley Valley sparkling wines in 2018 and my first thought was how the wines reminded me of the way Champagne used to taste in the 1980s, before climate change started affecting the ripeness and acidity of the grapes so markedly! A visit to the winery followed in 2019, and Hattingley Valley was one of the first wineries represented in the portfolio when I launched VinAccessGlobal back in 2020.”

A few words from Chris Unger, Sales and Marketing Director at Hattingley Valley

“We have been working with Alison/VinAccessGlobal since November 2020 and despite the turbulence of the time we have been provided with numerous opportunities throughout Asia. Alison has provided clear, accountable advice and feedback on the best market entry strategies for our wines.”
