As a husband and wife team, we have been producing award-winning wines at Domaine de Sainte Rose, our stunning, southern French property, since 2002. From our 40-hectare vineyard we have created an eclectic range of wines that have won international acclaim and are sold around the world.

In 2012, attracted by the quality of the terroir and the opportunity to become part of what is one of the most dynamic wine producing regions of the world, we brought our expertise and savoir-faire back to the UK, establishing Simpsons Wine Estate with an aspiration to produce world class English wines.

With 30 hectares of vineyards now in production and a state-of-the-art winery situated just minutes from the vines, our exclusively estate-grown still and sparkling wines are increasingly heralded, both nationally and internationally, as some of the finest of their kind.

We have a very international, quality-focused team, who have gained experience all over the world and have come from a very diverse range of work environments. This includes an Estate Manager from New Zealand and we have one Assistant Winemaker from Australia and one from South Africa.

Attracted by the huge potential of English wine, our entire team is fully committed to pioneering new styles and further enhancing its reputation. Their combined expertise and belief in this exciting area is an inspirational formula.

Wine production requires specialists in areas as varied as Viticulture, Winemaking, Sales, Marketing and Logistics and it is this that makes our industry so interesting and engaging. We believe that it is a whole team effort that ensures success and value all these areas equally.

In order to promote sustainable working practices, we are proud to advocate equal rights and respectful working conditions throughout our business.
