The wines of Denbies: the UK's largest vineyard

Denbies is the largest physical vineyard in the UK, although it’s not the UK’s largest producer (that honour goes to Chapel Down, who buy in a large proportion of their grapes).
The estate, consisting of 627 acres (253 hectares), 200 of which are woodland, was purchased by Adrian White in 1984. It was then mostly farmland, but encouraged by geologist and Dorking resident Professor Richard Selley, Adrian decided to plant a vineyard on the south facing slopes.
