About Candover Brook Vineyard
Candover Brook Vineyard is a family-owned vineyard in the Candover Valley, Hampshire, founded through the vision of the late Lord John Sainsbury.
After spending four decades looking after the family estate, his love of the land continued through his sons, Mark and Julian Sainsbury, who planted the vineyard on a south-facing slope in 2012.
Today, Mark manages Candover Brook, working alongside his brother Julian and their mother, Lady Anya Sainsbury.
The grapes are hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain their fresh fruit character. Both the Brut and Rosé also undergo malolactic fermentation, which adds depth to the wines.
The vineyard produces English sparkling wines that reflect the Hampshire countryside and the family's continued passion for winemaking.
