Great day. Relaxing, interesting, and a lovely setting. A hidden gem. Did not know this vineyard was in Bedford. Great wines!


We aim to produce award-winning quality still white wines each year, supplemented by a sparkling blend when conditions favour.


We only make Bacchus in the best years. Warden Abbey Bacchus 2019 is our first since the 2015 vintage which won a bronze medal in both the 2017 Decanter World Wide Awards and UK Wine Awards. The 2019 is still young and will continue to develop over the coming year.


Sister wine to our hugely popular Novicemaster. Its refreshing acidity gives rapier like precision and purity.

The start of the palate is bright with a mix of citrus fruits. A pear and tropical fruit influence gives a sweet feel to the mid palate, nice depth of flavour with lime and apple at the back refreshing the long finish. Gentle, fine bubbles.

Keep up to date with all the latest Warden Abbey news and events.

"An excellent entertaining and very informative tour led by the lovely and enthusiastic Monica. Our group enjoyed a very interesting few hours. The wines were super and we all enjoyed them and would recommend them."

4worldlovers:
The Four Acres Estate is a small family run vineyard and orchard set on a hillside above the Ash Valley in Little Hadham, Hertfordshire.


After a lifetime spent in the travel industry, proprietor Platon Loizou decided he wanted to get back to his Cypriot roots and fulfill a long-term dream of making wine. Since 2010 he has been out in all weathers, getting closer to nature tending his precious vines, nurturing them from saplings to maturity, bolstering his knowledge by consulting at every step with some of the best vinters in the country. Platon is not shy about hard graft, spending countless hours pushing himself along the rows trimming the vines aboard 'Jennifer', the sit-on pruning cart that has saved his back!


This is very much a family business and Platon is quick to express special thanks to sons Jamie, Alex and Richard and, of course, his wife Sharron, without whose help this project would never have got off the ground.


Many lessons have been learnt along the way and everyone involved is excited in anticipation of releasing the first vintage of Four Acres Estate English Sparkling Wine. The simple fact is that making hand-crafted English Sparkling Wine cannot be rushed, especially as Platon elected to go for the best quality by ageing on the lees (a beneficial process pioneered in France known as sur lie). This means the bottles are laid for 18 months rather than the normal 12, and are then hand 'riddled' (turned) twice a day for two weeks prior to disgorging.
