Malton Vineyard
This hillside vineyard, owned and run by Viv & Phill Clarkson, has panoramic views overlooking the stunning Yorkshire countryside and is ideally situated on a south facing slope to make the best of our warm summer sun. Viv & Phill began their wine making adventure in 2020 when they laid out the vineyard trellis system and then single handed planted the 2200 vines.
The Wines
The vines are predominantly the Solaris variety and well known for their tolerance of cooler climates and early ripening qualities so are ideal for this vineyard.Viv and Phill have a simple ethos; they are passionate about what they do and so aim to produce a quality wine worthy of the time and energy they invest in the vineyard. Phil says “The ‘Terroir of the vineyard is the mysterious ingredient that makes our wine different to that produced by others. It can be measured by the makeup of the soil in which it grows, the amount of sunlight available and equally, the amount of care devoted to the vine”.
