Our Wines

Our vineyard here at Louma spans 33 acres, sprawled over rolling seaside hills and lovingly maintained by our viticulture team using regenerative practices.

Where It All Began

Louis & Emma, our owners and founders, were originally drawn to the land and Spence Farm because of the vineyard. The rare sight of lush vines tumbling towards the coastal valley, like curtains drawn away to reveal a perfect triangle of sun and sea, is one that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Our English Sparkling

We designed our wines to be shared with family and friends. Delicious, elegant, and perfectly balanced, with a unique character that comes from our very special patch of Earth set amidst rolling hills and a gentle sea breeze.

With an enticing golden hue and brimming with exquisite bubbles, our Sparkling Cuvée is a traditional-method wine that has aromas of brioche and toasted nuts and a lively refreshing zestiness.

Our lively Sparkling Rosé is reminiscent of a summer sunset with tiny persistent bubbles and expressive aromas of strawberries complementing its floral freshness.

Regeneration

It’s no secret that the community surrounding English sparkling wine has blossomed in the last few years, a resurgence we attribute to our landscape’s unique fortifications from the Earth’s changing climate. This is why regeneration is at the heart of our cultivating philosophy – our vineyard is nearly 20 years old, and we intend for it to see decades more harvests as the land only becomes more healthy.

During certain seasons throughout the year, you’ll find our sheep hiding amongst the vineyard, grazing back the weeds that don’t get along with our vines and in turn fertilizing the land with the nutrients it needs to grow the happiest fruit. Meanwhile, the CO₂ produced by fermenting grape juice produces a nutrient-rich freshwater algae used in our animal feed.

To learn more about our sustainable practices and the symbiotic ecosystem we are cultivating in our vineyards, we invite you to join our viticulture team on a stroll through the vines. See first-hand what goes into our bottles before participating in a tasting or booking a private dining experience, complete with pairings hand-selected by our chef, from our vineyard to your table.

Nick Lane, our Winemaker

“The team at Louma are the stewards of a unique vineyard that harnesses both the essence of the English countryside and the maritime influences of the English Channel. From the recent years of harvests, I have worked with Louma grapes and the vineyard has revealed itself as an accurate reflection of the years’ climatic conditions.”

Jonathan Atkin, our Vineyard Manager

“My team and I care for our patch of Earth using regenerative practices. We are devoted viticulturists, nurturing the vines throughout each season, ensuring the best quality fruit come harvest time. We believe that our regenerative approach is reflected in our wine, creating unique character and taste: each drop a testament the team and the glorious West Dorset hills on which every grape is grown.

Throughout the years we are learning from our vines and constantly trying to improve our practices, be that introducing livestock to the vineyard, paying close attention to the climate, companion planting, or planning in the changable climate. Respect and balance are essential when working together, and my team and I bring out the best in each other.”
