Rooted in the Land

Turn the clocks back to 1995 and you’d find no trace of a vineyard here, no sign that this secret jewel in the crown of the Sussex countryside would become the home of English sparkling wine. Brimming with winemaking potential, this extraordinary place was met by extraordinary people (founders Chris and Mike Roberts) whose pioneering vision was to reimagine what English winemaking could be.

“Mike and I knew we could create astonishing sparkling wine to rival the world’s very best, right here in Sussex. Nothing like this had been done before, but one thing was clear, we had everything we needed, right here in the ground.”
