We are a family owned vineyard and vineyard contracting business aiding in the progression and development of the Crouch Valley wine region. Our first Pinot Noir planting has been produced into award winning wines, with the area becoming known worldwide for its fantastic vine growing conditions we are very excited for the future of English wines.
Crows Lane Vineyard have been supplying their fruit to top UK wineries, including Lyme Bay who brought out a 2022 Crows Lane Estate single blend Pinot Noir which claimed as “pretty damn impressive” by Janice Robinson herself!
Crows Lane Vineyard was originally established by Simon Hollington, who had seen the growth of surrounding vineyards in the area, with a love of wine and an interest to diversify some of his farm Simon sought the advice and help of top viticulturalist Duncan McNeil from MVM. It was shortly after that the first 8 acres of Pinot Noir were planted. In the year 2020 these grapes reached a record breaking 106 Oeschle!
Following on from this success, Simon and Mikey Hollington, Millie Hurrell and Debbie Reid have been expanding Crows Lane Estate year after year. In 2020 more Pinot Noir vines were planted followed by Sauvignon Blac in 2022 and soon to be followed by a Chardonnay variety in 2024.
Our contracting business takes huge pride in the opportunity to work alongside other Crouch Valley vineyard owners in the maintenance and development of their vineyards. Using the most advanced equipment we take great pride in maintaining our high aesthetic standards as well as providing the best conditions and care for the vines.
