The Gift That Keeps On Growing

Following the success of their Valentine's Day partnership, Candover Brook is once again collaborating with Stem & Green to offer a delightful gift for Mother's Day.

The Hampshire vineyard, known for its regeneratively grown English sparkling wines, has joined forces with Stem & Green, the natural flower farm, to offer something truly special for mothers. 

Customers purchasing either Candover Brook Brut or Rosé at participating stockists or online will receive a packet of locally grown, hand-picked Sweet Rocket seeds (Hesperis Matronalis), a flower whose very name means “Evening of the Mother.” Named for the beautiful scent it releases at dusk, Sweet Rocket is a fitting symbol for the enduring warmth of the mothers in our lives.

Amanda Sinclair, Head of Sales & Marketing at Candover Brook, told That's Food and Drink: “Working with Stem & Green has been a real joy. We share the same values, a love of the land, a commitment to regenerative growing, and a belief that the best gifts are ones that keep on giving. 

"After the wonderful response to our recent Valentine's collaboration, it felt completely natural to build on that and create something equally meaningful for Mothering Sunday.”

The Sweet Rocket seeds, grown by Stem & Green at their Hampshire farm, will bloom year after year, creating a lasting reminder of a special celebration, long after the last glass has been poured.

The collaboration reflects a growing movement among Hampshire producers to work together, champion local craftsmanship, and offer consumers something rooted in place and purpose. Both businesses are committed to regenerative practices that care for the soil, the seasons, and the communities around them.

You can pick up this unique pairing at the following shops and venues, whilst stocks last: Auriol Wines - Hartley Wintney, Candover Valley Stores - Preston Candover, Caviste - Hook, Caviste - Overton, Kingsgate Provisions - Winchester, The Naked Grape - Alresford, The Wine Yard - Farnham and Wellington Farm Shop – Hook.

Candover Brook marks English Wine Week with its powerful film on regenerative viticulture

Candover Brook, an award-winning vineyard in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, is proud to mark English Wine Week 2025 with the release of its new short film, "A Year in the Life of a Vineyard," a cinematic glimpse into its purposeful approach to regenerative viticulture.

Spanning just five hectares, Candover Brook harbours no ambition of being the biggest, only the best at working in harmony with nature. Founded on a commitment to soil health, biodiversity, and slow, sustainable excellence, the vineyard is redefining what it means to produce English sparkling wine with purpose.

The film follows the vineyard through the seasons, capturing the quiet rhythm of regenerative farming and the life it nurtures both above and below ground. A Year in the Life of a Vineyard was made by renowned British documentary maker Jess Bassett, who spent a year following the vineyard team.

Candover Brook co-owner Mark Sainsbury said, “Working with Jess was a complete joy and we are delighted with the outcome. It's a proud feeling to see our hard work and passion captured in such a beautiful film. We hope that our respect for the land and our community connects us and our award-winning wines to a new audience.”

Screenings are being held at select venues that share Candover Brook’s values of craft, care, and conscious living. Later this year, the film will be available on the vineyard’s newly launched YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@candoverbrook), which offers an inside look at this rare and remarkable estate.

With limited production and award-winning vintages already attracting attention, Candover Brook is one to watch, and now, one to watch on screen.
