We specialise in English wine

The best wines from the best grapes from the best vineyards

At Lyme Bay Winery we like to do things a little differently.

Since 2015 we’ve been working with some of the best English wine growers to bring you a selection of delicious and award-winning still and sparkling wines.

We are one of a very few wineries that works with growers all over the country to get the best fruit rather than relying on what is grown in our own vineyards. That way, we have access to different grape varieties that grow better on different soils and in different microclimates across the country and use them to make exceptional, full of character still and sparkling wines that suit every palate and occasion.

Why choose English wines?

It is time to celebrate English wine!

English wines are an exciting new force in the wine world, producing world-class bubbles, winning awards, and, for the first time, beating major Champagne houses in competitions and earning well-deserved recognition across the globe.

Unique flavours that make great talking points for your next dinner party, more consumer-friendly prices, support of smaller, family-run businesses, and more sustainable options; there’s something for everyone.

Meet our Winemakers

James Lambert

MD & Winemaker

James started his winemaking career at a young age. Cutting his teeth in the wine labs at Broadland Drinks, testing 20 to 30 wines per day, he enrolled on a wine appreciation course led by Frank Leatherdale. James credits Frank’s knowledge, enthusiasm and passion, for setting him on his career journey into wine.

He quickly moved onto his first WSET course, and his passion for wine was set. He started a tailor-made role within Broadland, looking after wine quality and working with various winemakers worldwide.

In 2006, drawn by Lyme Bay Winery’s ambition to plant a vineyard and make still English wines, he took the job and relocated to Devon. While others had already shown that sparkling English wines of real quality could be made, he felt that still wines had significantly more potential.

This has been proved recently as Lyme Bay Winery has won two Trophies in international competitions for still wines within two years, plus a third Trophy for a wine made for nearby Lympstone Manor, the only UK producer to receive such an accolade.
