Spayne Lindsay is delighted to annouce that it has provided advisory services to Hambledon Vineyard plc in connection with the successful takeover bid by Berry Bros. & Rudd and the Symington Group.

Hambledon is widely considered  to be one of the leading English sparkling wine producers, winning multiple awards, and is England’s oldest commercial vineyard, with vines first planted on the site in 1962. Today, Hambledon produces wine from 200 acres of vineyard planted on the same grade of chalk as Grand Cru Côte des Blancs in Champagne. It is one of the few leading English producers with the capacity to produce more than 500,000 bottles per year of estate-grown sparkling wine 100% from chalk soils.
