Red Poll
Cattle

Our herd grazes 150 acres of rolling hills and water-meadows, 2 miles to the east of the ancient market town of Lavenham. The Red Poll is a traditional Suffolk breed, first developed by crossing the Norfolk Red with the Suffolk Dun in the early nineteenth Century.

At Lavenham Brook, animal welfare and maintenance of a top-quality herd are our top priorities. We breed all our replacement heifers on the farm from our four stock bulls, giving us the best means of creating an excellent pedigree. 

In 2017, our herd received 10 prizes at the Suffolk Show, including Champion Female and Reserve Champion Bull.

Suffolk
Wines

Our vineyard occupies a south-facing, chalk slope above the River Brett. We prune and harvest our 10,000 vines of Bacchus and Pinot Noir by hand for the best quality, and they are then pressed, fermented and bottled by the award-winning New Hall Vineyard in Purleigh, Essex.

We currently produce a white Bacchus, Pinot Noir Rosé and our English Sparkling Brut. Later this year our customers will be able to purchase our very first red wine, produced with our 2018 Pinot Noir grapes which saw an unprecedented amount of sunshine.

We already have a number of prestigious awards under our belt, including the 2013 Waitrose Trophy. Last year we received a Gold Award from the internationally-acclaimed 2019 Sommelier Wine Awards for our 2017 Bacchus.
