Fraser Currie has joined Greyfriars Vineyard in the newly created position of General Manager. Fraser brings an impressive and extensive track record in the Wine, Drinks and Spirits Industry including Commercial Director of Armit Wines for four years from 2020 to 2024.
In his new role, Fraser will focus on strengthening Greyfriars’ position as a leading English wine producer, enhancing customer experience, and supporting the continued growth of the business in the years ahead.
Mike Wagstaff commented, “This year we are celebrating the fifteenth anniversary since we took over Greyfriars Vineyard and the 36th since the original Champagne varietal vines were planted on this site. It has been an incredible journey and we have achieved success far beyond our original expectations together with a few ups and downs along the way. However, we are looking to continue to build the business for the next decade and beyond and we are delighted that Fraser will join us to lead the amazingly talented team at Greyfriars”
Greyfriars Vineyard is located on the south-facing slopes of the North Downs (known locally as the Hog’s Back), just a few miles outside Guildford in Surrey. The 40 acre vineyard was established in 1989 and boasts a state of the art tasting room, winery and a chalk cellar. The vineyards are predominantly planted with the three classic Champagne grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
