Hampshire is the cradle of the English vineyard renaissance. Hambledon was the first, with Sir Guy Salisbury-Jones' initial plantings in 1952.
Wellow,Wooldings Meon Valley and Lymington were well known by the early 1990s. Then a decline seemed to set in.
The new century has witnessed a major revival. Several 'sparkling' vineyards have been planted and new viticulturalists
and owners have sttled in the area. In 2010, Skelton recorded 32 vineyards in the county and 4 in the Isle of Wight. The future
is sparkling bright- the future may even be rose.
