In the solar-powered winery Will takes a natural approach, preferring to avoid filtration, fining and yeast additions and adding only the minimal amount of sulphur dioxide required to protect the wines. Will believes that this is only possible with the best equipment and detailed individual care of the wines during the winemaking process. Wines are fermented in stainless steel, with a small proportion in traditional large oak foudres. The main wines produced include: All the wines have been regular award winners, including winning the Soil Association organic food awards 4 times, the UKVA Vintners Trophy, the Gore-Browne trophy and the Montague trophy (the only organic producer ever to win any trophy at the UKVA competition). Wines can be purchased online (UK delivery only) and are available from a range of independent wine merchants and restaurants around the UK.
Will Davenport planted his first vineyard at Horsmonden, Kent in 1991 after working for vineyards overseas. Today, Davenport Vineyards has grown into over 20 acres of vines on 5 separate sites with a fully equipped modern winery at Rotherfield in Sussex. The vines have been managed to Soil Association organic standards since 2000, avoiding chemical fertilisers, herbicides and limiting fungicides to only sulphur and copper. Davenport is the largest organic wine producer in the UK.
