Knight Frank and Wine Garden of England announce new partnership
News
We're delighted to become the first property partner of Wine Garden of England (WGE). Our viticulture team is looking forward to supporting them, their work with the wine industry in Kent and their members on their exciting journey.
This new partnership will primarily involve Knight Frank’s viticulture team. Their focus is on supporting vineyard managers and wine producers who make quality still and sparkling wine from grapes grown in Britain.
Our viticulture team has been advising many leading UK vineyard and wine businesses across the country with land identification, purchase, sale and business consultancy matters for over a decade.
Using its in-house geospatial vineyard mapping software, the team can identify the best land for growing vines. It assesses important factors such as soil type, altitude, frost risk, slope direction, and gradient to ensure the land can produce quality wine grapes. Our trusted experts will then help buyers to negotiate with landowners to buy or rent land.
The viticulture team provides invaluable advice on diverse aspects of the wine business - diversification, sales and marketing and investment in vineyard land and wine businesses.
Ed Mansel Lewis, Head of Viticulture, and Patrick McGrath, Director of Domaine Evremond and CEO of Hatch Mansfield.
Ed Mansel Lewis, Partner and Head of Viticulture at Knight Frank, said:
“We are thrilled to have been appointed as Wine Garden of England’s first property partner. The organisation is doing an excellent job in growing the wine industry in Kent and we are looking forward to supporting them and their members on their exciting journey, with a variety of services tailored to their individual needs.’’
Jo Smith, Brand Manager at Wine Garden of England, added:
“Our members are delighted to be working at ground level with such an esteemed land agent as Knight Frank. We are looking forward to contributing to shaping the infrastructure of the English wine industry to enable strong and sustainable growth for the future.”
Wine Garden of England is a collaboration of 8 Kent wine producers who are collectively responsible for around 80% of the county's wine production. They work together to encourage visitors to their estates and to grow wine tourism to Kent as a whole.
