Owned by Richard and Joy Morris, Ancre Hill comprises two vineyard sites on the edge of Monmouth, south-east Wales with some 30,000 vines planted on approximately 12-hectares (29.5 acres) and a state-of-the-art, modern winery. The business has evolved from the first plantings in 2006 and 2007 at Ancre Hill, which now extends to 4 hectares of mature vines to include Newton Court Farm, purchased in 2014, the same year as the new winery was built at Ancre Hill, where a further 8 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay has been planted.
Terroir: Ancient mudstone/sandstone soils. Ancre Hill has some limestone. Newton Court has a more sandy profile. South facing slopes to maximise sunlight exposure and aid natural drainage of the soils. Localised valley climate in a rain shadow of the Monnow Valley.
