Who we are
About the farm
We farm a secluded chalk valley in the South Downs National Park near Rodmell: our family farmed pigs here from 1968 and planted the vineyard in 1974. Today we grow about 2.4 ha (6 acres) of vines and keep 40 ewes to graze the surrounding steep banks. We make only traditional-method sparkling wines, exclusively from our own Seyval Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes; we produce two cuvées each year and age them in bottle for at least four years. Since the death of our founder Peter Hall in 2025 the family has continued to run the estate; we sell our wines through our online shop, at the cellar door by appointment, and through wine merchants and Waitrose stores.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
