Nutbourne Vineyards Sussex Reserve NV

This “field blend” wine showcases the unique terroir of Nutbourne – combining the soil, the geography and the climate of West Sussex. There is no other wine in the world to replicate it. With tremendous freshness and wild fruit flavours, it is crisp, dry, and aromatic, combining old vine Riesling-style German varietals with Pinot Noir. Perfect to drink on its own but also has enough zing to stand up to spicy foods, lighter game birds or a wholesome fish pie.

Vines were first planted at Nutbourne in 1979 by one of the early pioneers of wine grape growing in this country. Since 1991 it has been owned, managed and expanded by the Gladwin family. The “Terroir” at Nutbourne is a unique and ideal wine growing environment – a warm microclimate protected by the South Downs, gentle south-facing slopes and the same fertile green sand soil as the Champagne region in France. There are 26 acres under vine.
