English Charm in the Vines

Hello, friends, whether you’re here for the conversation, the calm, or just a little sparkle of inspiration, I’m so glad you’ve stopped by. So go ahead—pour yourself a cozy cup, treat yourself to something sweet, and let’s share this peaceful moment together. Here’s a little news to enjoy during fika time.

Think rolling hills, crisp, and a touch of countryside glamour

We’re happy to report that fruit set is now complete across the vineyard, and things are looking excellent. The Burgundy clones we cultivate here in Southeast Sussex are showing great uniformity and promise, with tight, healthy clusters forming beautifully.
So far, weather conditions remain favourable—mild, steady, and ideal for this stage of growth. If this continues, we’re set up for a strong and balanced vintage, with the finesse and precision we look for in our sparkling wine base.

We’ll be keeping a close eye as we head into verasioon, but for now, we’re right where we want to be.

Decanter – Silver Medal

We are very pleased to share that our Cuvee’ Brut 2020 was awarded a Silver Medal at the Decamter World Wine Awards 2025.

Tasting note
Judges praised its “complex nose of lime, peach and brioche”, with a “fine mousse, gentle mouth field, further citrus grape-skin, almond sourdough with a zippy finish”

Tastings at Busi Jacobsohn Vineyard

We love welcoming visitors to taste our wines and stroll through the vineyard with us.

Glasses clinking, the sun shining, stories flowing, birdsong drifting on the breeze—there’s nothing better than spending time with happy guests. It’s a wonderful way to pause between vineyard tasks.

We’re excited for our open day this August—coming up, look out for next email.
