About Hattingley Valley
About Emma Rice

Emma's interest in wine stemmed from working part-time at a pub during her studies. It was a double magnum of Krug 1979, however, that really piqued her interest. Her wine career commenced in retail before joining the sales and marketing team at a London-based importer. The pivotal point of her career was when she was editor of Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2002-2004. This prompted her to go back to university to study viticulture and oenology at Plumpton College, aged 29. Emma’s writing has continued as contributor and editor of The World Atlas of Wine, Opus Vino and the UK Winegrowers' Handbook. After graduating from Plumpton College Emma travelled round the world to gain vintage experience in the Napa Valley and Tasmania.
Emma, described by English wine writer Matthew Jukes as "extraordinarily talented”, was crowned Winemaker of the Year in the 2016 English and Welsh Wine of the Year Competition. This is the second time she has won it (she was first awarded it in 2014) and she's particularly delighted to be the first woman to achieve the honour.
