About JoJo’s Vineyard

The Winery

Ian & Tess Ian created JoJo’s Vineyard with a single passion and aim: to make the finest English still and sparkling wines. Coming from agricultural and scientific backgrounds with a keen interest in wine, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to combine a passion for modern technological, sustainable and ecological agriculture with our shared love of viticulture and traditional winemaking.

The idea behind

Our wine at JoJo’s is made by Tommy Grimshaw at Langham’s Vineyard in Dorset. Langhams won the ISWC International sparkling wine maker of the year in 2020, Veuve Clicquot won it in 2019 and Maison Mumm competed in the same year as Langhams, so the competition was tough, but Langhams won....so JoJo’s is in good hands.

We only produce small batches of wine, individually crafted by top artisanal winemakers to the highest standards. They use natural techniques and minimal intervention to bring you the finest wine to enjoy with friends and family. All our wines are single estate using only our own hand picked grapes fermented in a mix of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to provide layers of flavour and well integrated complexity, and elegance.


The vineyard

JoJo's is at the top of a south west sloping hill, so perfect for the sun to grow and ripen our grapes.

The area Oxfordshire. RG9 6EU (Henley on Thames)

The Chiltern Hills is an up and coming region in the UK. The Thames and Chilterns region is blessed with the same chalk that spreads aross the south of England and across in the Champagne region of France. Being 190m above sea level helps ensure the vines have pleny of breeze through them to help reduce disease risk.

The soil

The vineyard is 2/3 on chalk soil and 1/3 clay. The chalk is the same chalk as the south east of England and the champagne region of France.

Stonor Park

Home to the Stonor family for over 850 years, Stonor Park is one of the oldest family homes still lived in today – but it’s no museum. As the oldest member of the Stonor family, the house has a thousand stories to tell. As well as being architecturally fascinating each room contains a lifetime of experience and anecdote. Discover art and treasures collected from across the globe and view historic maps and documents that reveal generations of service to the country. A stroll through this house is a vivid walk through history. Behind the warm red brick façade, Stonor is actually a collection of much older buildings. In fact its origins go back to Medieval times. The area now housing our cosy Stonor Pantry cafe dates from the late 12th Century, with the Chapel added around a hundred years later. Since then a series of additions and renovations, including the adoption of the E-shape in around 1540 have evolved into the extraordinary building you can see and explore today. Highlights include the grand Gothic revival hall, atmospheric 17th century library and the dramatic long gallery opening on to beautiful Italianate gardens. The fortunes of the house and chapel are strongly tied to the travails of the Catholics in Britain. When Henry VIII formed the Church of England in the 1530s Catholics, including the Stonor family were forced to take a much reduced part in public life. Crippling fines were levied and many were persecuted and forced to go into hiding. At Stonor there is a poignant reminder of these times in the roof space and priest hole where Sir Edmund Campion hid whilst printing the famous Ten Reasons’ pamphlet in the 1580s.
