Who we are
About the farm
We founded our family-run wine estate in 2010 on a working arable farm near Alfriston, on the south-facing chalk slopes of the South Downs, three miles from the English Channel. We planted our first vines in 2012; we grow Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and a little Pinot Gris, and from our own hand-harvested grapes we make vintage Sussex Sparkling wines by the traditional method. We sell our wines in our Cellar Door shop at the winery (open daily) and in our online shop; we offer guided estate tours with tastings, a restaurant and wine bar, as well as B&B rooms and self-catering cottages.

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.
