Co-exhibitor of WINES OF GREAT BRITAIN
Situated in the historical Wiltshire countryside, Bluestone Vineyards is run by brothers Nathaniel and Toby McConnell on the family farm in Cholderton, near Salisbury.
Established in 2016, our 10-acre vineyard is planted with Chardonnay, Pinot noir, and Pinot meunier, destined for premium English sparkling wines made with heart, dedication and precision, both in the vineyard, and in the winery.
Bluestone focuses on crafting high-quality, vintage sparkling wines in limited quantities. Our production typically ranges from 20,000 to 25,000 bottles, featuring two core styles along with single vineyard and specialty wines in suitable vintages.
We strive to showcase the essence of English sparkling wines – fresh, fruit-forward wines with a bright acidity. Our wines are blended to meet three key criteria;
Delicious on release
Potential for aging
Excelling in food pairings
We like to emphasise the "Englishness" of our wines, which we feel is shown through the purity of fruit and a fresh & vibrant acidity structure. We enhance complexity and richness by blending a small portion of reserve wines and through extended lees aging, while our dosage programme is centred on maintaining this character.
