On the 23rd September 2026 Chapel Down published its unaudited results for the period ended 30th June 2026. We are pleased to report continued strong financial performance as we continue to deliver against clear Strategic Priorities.
James Pennefather, CEO, commented:
“The continued momentum seen during the first half of the year reinforces our confidence in the long-term opportunity for Chapel Down in this exciting growth category. English Sparkling Wine continues to benefit from positive tailwinds including adoption of the category by Millennials, expansion of demand outside traditional formal Champagne occasions and the impact of a warmer climate.
“We are delighted with the continued progress our team has made during the first half of the year. We have seen growth across all channels, increasing market share and continued momentum in our strategic Traditional Method Sparkling portfolio which demonstrate the benefits of the investments we have made in the Chapel Down brand, our routes to market and our asset base.
“As well as strengthening our leadership position within the English Sparkling Wine category, and making encouraging progress internationally, our sales mix continues to premiumise. These results provide further evidence that our strategy of focusing on Traditional Method Sparkling is delivering results, and our Board remains keen to capitalise on this in future."
