A unique opportunity to purchase the entirety of the Issued Share Capital in two companies that own the well-established artisan sparkling wine producer, known as Barnsole in Kent to include freehold property and live and deadstock. In all 7.48 acres.
Barnsole is situated on the eastern outskirts of the village of Staple in an area of East Kent, just to the east of Canterbury. Staple provides minimal facilities and amenities although does have easy access to the larger towns of Sandwich to the east and Canterbury to the west, which provide a more comprehensive range of facilities and amenities along with national rail links and national road links via the A2 at Canterbury.
The Vineyard at Barnsole extends in total to 7.48 acres with approximately 7 acres planted with vines. The vineyard itself is one of the oldest vineyards in Kent, having been planted in the early 1990’s with various varieties including Reichensteiner & Huxelrebe. Since the original plantings, there have been additions of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Bacchus varieties, all on a double Guyot planting system. In addition, there is a trial block of Wrotham Pinot which is England’s only indigenous wine that has been planted for first release anticipated in 2024.
In addition to the vineyard itself, there is a detached winery building that extends to almost exactly 3,000 ft² and comprises a good-sized Retail Area to the front with a further Retail Area to the rear along with WC, Store and Winery Laboratory along with two sealed Bonded Stores for wine storage. There are sliding loading doors out onto the concrete area for access with machinery and to the rear, a recently added Warehouse helping with wine storage and pressing throughout the year. A Floor Plan of the winery building identifying its exact layout can be found within this brochure.
To the front of the site, there is a fantastic access directly off the road to the south, leading to a good-sized Parking Area along with outside Seating Areas for visitors as and when they require. Photos of these areas can be found throughout the brochure.
