Our 22 acres of vineyards, situated on gentle south-facing slopes in a shallow sheltered valley, produces several varieties of wine grapes that thrive in English conditions. Most varieties grown are of Germanic origin including Ortega, Schonburger, Huxelrebe and Dornfelder from which we produce single variety wines. Ortega, which accounts for almost 50% of the vineyards wine grapes, produces Biddenden's most distinctive wine.

Wines from other varieties of wine grapes are blended to produce our Gribble Bridge, Rose and Sparkling wines. Great effort is made to ensure that the Estate wines produced are of the highest quality. This is reflected in the number of awards our wines have received in both national and international competitions.

Biddenden Vineyard's star wine of 2009 proved to be the Ortega 2008 - a still, white full fruit medium wine, which won the Berwick Trophy for the 'Best Wine of the Previous Vintage' and the 'Best Large Production Unchaptalised Still Wine' Jack Ward Memorial salver at the English and Welsh Wine of the Year Awards organised by the UK Vineyards Association. How ironic that it was Jack Ward himself who advised the vineyard on Ortega back in 1972!  Added to this the same wine also picked up a Gold Medal, whilst the Biddenden Gribble Bridge Ortega Dry 2008( a still and drier white) also won a Gold Medal and the Biddenden Gribble Bridge Rose 2008 was awarded a Bronze Medal.
