WORLD CLASS WINES

GROWN IN THE HEART OF YORKSHIRE

About Knotfield

Knotfield is a very special place. And Knotfield Vines – a very special vineyard.

Nestled in a conservation area in a leafy suburb of West Yorkshire, the two acre vineyard is framed by rolling fields, centuries old sycamores, and the north side of the River Aire.

Tucked away like a secret garden, the plot is a hidden gem in the heart of Rawdon village. And, in early 2022, it started its new chapter as a vineyard, established by best friends Laura and Sophie, and run by a small and dedicated family team.

Knotfield Vines produces traditional method sparkling wine which stands on the world stage in terms of finesse and flavour, but is unrivalled in terms of the hard-work, passion and pride which has gone into every bottle.

Our grape varieties – Pinot Noir Precocé, Seyval Blanc and Bacchus – are thriving in the cool climate of Knotfield. And harvest time boasts small yield crops of intensely flavourful grapes, which go on to become limited edition batches of sensational, traditional method sparkling wine.

Each bottle of Yorkshire Sparkling reflects Knotfield’s ethos – celebration. A celebration of Yorkshire, of friendship, of life – and all the special moments along the way.

Cheers to you.

FEMALE FOUNDED

"There’s no one more passionate about the quality and care of their produce - as well as the slice of Yorkshire they call home - than Sophie and Laura. I’ve been eagerly waiting for Rawdon to come to fruition over the last few years, and it was worth it. Knotfield have created joy in a bottle, and it’s definitely an addition to the English traditional method sparkling scene to get excited about."

Tommy Banks, British Michelin Star head chef, owner of The Black Swan at Oldstead, and founder of Banks Brothers Wine. 

"Knotfield Vines is truly one to watch. The vineyard is simply stunning, an asset to the English wine scene. Female growers of exquisite taste, pioneering the exciting potential of Yorkshire wine."

Sophia Luckett, Wine Educator, The Drink Talking.

OUR WINES

Knotfield Vines’ flagship product is Rawdon, an effervescent, traditional method sparkling, grown in the heart of Yorkshire.

Our limited edition, small batch releases are individual every year, but consistently capture the very best of the grape varieties we grow at Knotfield.  

Our Classic Rawdon showcases the citrus notes of our Seyval Blanc, with a minerality akin to white Burgundy. Our Bacchus grapes lend their freshly cut grass and floral flavours, and our pinot noir precoce grounds the wine with an elegant, refined finish. It’s a show-stopper of a sparkling, synonymous with celebration. 

Sunkissed and salmon pink, Knotfield’s Rawdon Rosé is the centrepiece of summer. Easy drinking but with a complexity of flavour, you’ll experience the berry sweetness of ripe cherry and  raspberry, with a fresh and fruity hit of elderflower.  

Each harvest is unique, ensuring each vintage is special, and captures the nuances of that particular year on the vineyard. What never changes, is the quality and joy in each bottle. 

HELP US GROW

We want Knotfield to become a source of local pride – and would love to grow the community of wine enthusiasts we just know are dotted all around the Rawdon area and beyond.

As such, we welcome volunteers at various points across the vineyard calendar.

There’s always something going on – whether it’s bud rubbing, pruning, or – importantly – harvest time.
