Heppington Vineyard Sparkling Rosé

A Pioneering Wine Legacy

In 1806, Gregory Blaxland, a farmer from Canterbury, Kent, emigrated to Australia with his brother John. The journey took 220 days. En route, they collected vines from the Cape of Good Hope. In 1813, Gregory, with two other explorers, found a passage across the Blue Mountains, making Australian history.

From the vines he planted, he became the first person to export wine from Australia to the UK, winning a silver medal for his red wine in London in 1822.

In 2016, Henry Blaxland, a descendant of Gregory, was inspired by the pioneering family history to plant 6.25 hectares of vines on farmland on the edge of the Kent Downs, overlooking Canterbury Cathedral, which has been in the family for generations. – Heppington Vineyard

“Fresh strawberries, ripe for the picking, with delicate, moussey and creamy strawberries mixed with cream. There is a touch of red berry skins in the background of the aroma. Fizzy strawberries, hints of pink and purple floral, notes of cranberry and red currants with subtle bark and cherry notes on the palate.” – Glass of Bubbly
