Hundred Hills

In a quiet corner of Oxfordshire, nestled within the chalky soils of the historic Stonor Valley, a new chapter in English sparkling winemaking has begun.   

Hundred Hills is a boutique wine estate located in the heart of Oxfordshire, producing world-class English sparkling wines. Hundred Hills' wines are crafted in our boutique winery where sustainability and quality have been embedded by design.

Each year, only the very best grapes are pressed and vinified into a handful of very distinct wines, each destined, in different ways, to authentically showcase the season that has just passed. Only the finest pressed musts, from grapes that have been on the vine for at least 100 days, are used in our wines to produce our distinctive late harvested vintages. 

Hundred Hills' wines are known for their precision and outstanding capacity for pairing with delicate haute cuisine dishes. To date our wines have been enjoyed at more than 40 Michelin starred restaurants and a wide range of the very top hotels across the UK.
