Clive Vickers helped his father, Martin, to plant the vines in 1983 and they go into making white, red, rose and sparkling wines.
He said: "We have a really big crop despite the year starting off with frost in April and wet weather in May.
"August was also disappointing but in September the weather was good with lots of sunshine.
"We have a high yield and will be picking for four to five weeks.
