Surprised today to see this photo of Jess and I in The Sunday Telegraph! Apparently a trial in California has found that English Springer Spaniels are adept at helping detect certain bugs in vines! Not sure if our two Springers would be any good at this but we do know they are a rather special and valued part of the Albourne Estate Team!

Just stunning this morning in the vineyard - really enjoying this cold, dry and frosty weather.

Despite Storm Bert we were delighted to welcome so many of our Wine Club members to our complimentary 2024 'Post-Harvest Lunch and Wine Tasting' on Saturday.
Members and their guests were treated to a very special tasting led by our wine consultant, Salvatore Leone. We kicked-off with a rare treat - a side by side tasting of our Estate Premier Cuvee 2017 in standard bottle vs late-disgorged magnum. Very interesting! We then tasted our latest release MultiVintage Rose sparkling prior to all wrapping up warm for a tasting in the Winery where we tasted some recently fermented 2024 base wines direct from tank and barrel, some of which, will become a MV Rose in a few years time. For many, this was the first time they had tasted such young wine (Just a few weeks old) and was a bit of any 'eye-opener'! Everyone was then welcomed back upstairs to our warm Tasting Room to a delicious lunch provided by our favourite local delicatessan, Hampers of Hurst.

🍾 Today we celebrate . The creation of sparkling wine was an unintentional marvel. In those early days, the presence of bubbles was deemed a flaw rather than a feature. The excessive pressure within the bottles frequently resulted in explosive outcomes, earning it the notorious title of “the devil's wine” (le vin du diable).However, what was once considered problematic has now evolved into one of the most revered beverages globally, a symbol of celebration. Our home grown version, , is produced using the same 'champagne' or 'traditional' method and accounts for two thirds of all English wine production.

Following an extremely challenging year for grape growing in England, we started our harvest yesterday with the picking of our popular Bacchus. Crop yields are low due to the wet summer and ever present pressure of botrytis in the grapes but thankfully we managed to selectively pick some lovely fruit. Bacchus is always one of the first to ripen on our site although picking this year is a week later than usual. We next plan to move onto our Pinot Noir and finally Chardonnay as long as the relentless rain lets up for a while and temperatures keep up. 🤞🙏

Celebrate with a Sussex Negroni. Our friends at Brighton Gin are serving up these great cocktails in Hove blending our Albourne Estate 40 Semi-Dry English Vermouth with Brighton Gin and Campari. The joy of a negroni is it is so simple to make, yet looks and tastes fantastic. 1 part Vermouth to 1 part Gin to 1 part Campari, poured over ice and garnished with a twist of orange zest. With our Vermouth we prefer it with 2 parts Vermouth to 1 part Gin to 1 part Campari as it is semi-dry and more subtle than the more typical sweet red italian vermouths used in this cocktail. But experiment for yourself by grabbing some bottles to take home (you can order on line via our website) and impress your friends with your cocktail making skills! Alternatively, head down to Bottom's Rest in Hove to try one perfectly prepared for you!

About Us

A family run business, our grapes are exclusively grown, sustainably produced and carefully hand-blended on site.

We are a deliberately small producer with just over 10 hectares (26 acres) of vines (read more about the vineyards). Capturing the essence of variety, vintage and vineyard requires an enlightened approach and meticulous attention to detail at every step of the process – the small scale of our business allows us to be fastidious. The quality of our grapes and dedication to our craft ensures our wines are of superior character and flavour.

England is one of the coolest of the ‘cool climate viticultural regions’ and also probably the wettest – our summers are notoriously unpredictable and unreliable, testing resolve and optimism. There are few places in the world where wine growing is more marginal! This presents us with unique challenges each season. While we learn from the established wine-growing regions, developing locally relevant solutions and methods are essential in order to create a unique and sympathetic ‘English’ style.
