Welcome to Malton Vineyard
Located on the outskirts of Malton, in the Howardian Hills sits the picturesque hillside of Musley Bank, the setting for the unique three acre Malton Vineyard.
A family owned and run business since 2020.
About Us
This hillside vineyard, owned and run by Viv & Phill Clarkson, has panoramic views overlooking the stunning Yorkshire countryside and is ideally situated on a south facing slope to make the best of our warm summer sun. Viv & Phill began their wine making adventure in 2020 when they laid out the vineyard trellis system and then single handed planted the 2200 vines.
To develop the range of wines they make, Viv and Phil planted an additional 500 'Rondo' vines in 2023. This vine produces delicious red grapes which Viv and Phil plan to use to produce a Musley Bank Pink wine. At the time of this update, growth is going well and they hope to produce the first wine this year ready for sale in 2027.
The vines are predominantly the Solaris variety and well known for their tolerance of cooler climates and early ripening qualities so are ideal for this vineyard. Viv and Phill have a simple ethos; they are passionate about what they do and so aim to produce a quality wine worthy of the time and energy they invest in the vineyard. Phil says “The ‘Terroir of the vineyard is the mysterious ingredient that makes our wine different to that produced by others. It can be measured by the makeup of the soil in which it grows, the amount of sunlight available and equally, the amount of care devoted to the vine”.
Our Harvest
The 2024 vintage was very popular, so much so that we have sold out. The 2025 vintage is now on sale and has been received equally enthusiastically by our established customers.
The wine has a nose of citrus which follows through to the palate where there is an abundance of green apple flavours that are balanced with a lovely fresh acidity and a long finish. It is a dry wine and is called 'Musley Bank' in reference to it's provenance.
To ensure consistency and quality of the wine, Viv & Phill have established their own winery. This hands-on approach is important to them and has the benefit of access to the wine in its various stages of maturation to check quality by tasting!
