Ruth and Charles Simpson
Vaunted vintners
Ruth Simpson and husband Charles have made award-winning wines at their southern French Estate, Domaine Sainte Rose, since 2002. In 2012 they brought their savoir-faire back to the UK, establishing Simpsons’ Wine Estate in Kent – now comprising 38 hectares of vineyards, a state-of-the-art winery and an elegant tasting room, complete with world’s first winery helter-skelter slide. With a strong focus on provenance, Simpsons produce a highly-acclaimed range of exclusively estate-grown still and sparkling wines, which can be found in some of the finest retail and dining outlets both nationally and internationally.
