Our Story:
Our wines capture something ephemeral: the time and place in which they were made. That place is Newbarn Farm, a 300-year-old smallholding in the Chiltern Hills that backs onto the ancient and richly diverse Hodgemoor Woods. Our Smallholding:
Newbarn is becoming organic for the first time – creating a regenerative ecosystem that produces exquisite food and drink. Already, the farm is home to honeybees, wildflower meadows, hedgerows, chickens and some grazing animals. And then there’s the larger ecosystem of Seer Green, our village. Almost everything we do is done locally – from families tending to our hens, to local artists creating our labels. Wherever we can, we keep produce, work and money flowing within our community. www.newbarnfarm.org
Minimal Intervention:
Our wines are a record of how each year passes through our farm. The sun, rain and peculiarities of any given year express themselves in the land. Every element of our ecosystem contributes: there are insects and birds among the wildflowers, manure from the chickens and sheep tending to our meadow grasses and flowers in the old-fashioned way. Minimal intervention is at the heart of this. Time leads the process – we’re simply stewards.
