1276 Wine Collection

The legacy of 1276 began when the Bishop of Hereford documented the planting of vines on the south-facing slopes of Ledbury in his historic 'Red Book.' These early ecclesiastical vines set the stage for centuries of winemaking in the region.

Today, the vineyard thrives on the same unique microclimate and soils, reintroduced with modern viticulture practices. Every vine is nurtured with care, producing grapes that tell the story of responsibility, sustainability, and passion for exceptional British wine.

Nestled in Herefordshire's rolling hills, the 25-acre vineyard is a testament to the winery’s commitment to sustainability and excellence. By embracing the Triple Bottom Line philosophy of People, Planet, and Profit, Evolution Winery ensures every stage of production respects the environment, from eco-conscious packaging to energy-efficient winery practices.

The Evolution Winery team, led by Head Winemaker Laurence Cocking and Vineyard Manager Scott Patterson, brings passion and expertise to every bottle. From vine nurturing to bottling, their goal is simple: to produce the very best British wines, celebrating the rich history and future of Herefordshire viticulture.
