Chapel Down Group Plc provided an update on its 2022 harvest. Favourable growing conditions have enabled the delivery of both an exceptional grape quality and yield. Across its 750 acres already under vine, the Company has delivered a record tonnage of its key sparkling wine grapes, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, as part of a total harvest of over 2,000 tonnes. This compares favourably with last year's, weather affected, harvest of ~1,400 tonnes. This year's harvest is expected to enable the production of approximately 2 million bottles of high-quality sparkling and still wines. The Company's recent investment to extend the winery at Tenterden in Kent will enable the Company to efficiently process the harvest, underpinning greater volumes of sparkling and still wines in 2023 as well as increased stocks of traditional method sparkling wines from 2025.
