SPARKLING BRITAIN

Britain's Sparkling Future

Twenty years ago, few could have foreseen that the future of Britain's wine industry lay with sparkling wine. This view was changed by two vineyards. Stuart and Sandy Moss developed Nyetimber as a producer of First Class sparkling wine. They were followed by Mike Roberts at Ridgeview. These two, now accompanied by Hush Heath, have an unrivalled reputation for consistency and class.
By 2020, there will be many more who will challenge both the pioneers, and even the French as the chalklands of Sussex, Kent and Hampshire are developed as the 'Sparkling wine' belt of Britain.
Note that only vineyards specialising in 'Classic' grapes are shown on this map. For other vineyards in this area, see the Sussex and Kent screens
