Bluebell Vineyard Estates

Bluebell Vineyard Estates has established itself as a quality producer of both sparkling and still wines in the heart of the Sussex countryside. The estate is home to two distinct wine brands: Hindleap for their traditional method sparkling wines and Ashdown for their still wine range, each expressing different aspects of their Sussex terroir.

How Bluebell Vineyard Estates Makes Its Wines

The vineyard welcomes visitors throughout the week, offering a relaxed approach to wine tourism that suits both dedicated enthusiasts and casual visitors. Drop in for a self-guided wine tasting, purchase a glass to enjoy on the terrace, or explore the vineyard and surrounding woodland at your own pace. The estate takes pride in being dog-friendly, well-behaved canine companions are welcome.

The Hindleap sparkling range showcases the potential of Sussex for traditional method wines. The Classic Cuvée demonstrates elegant balance, while single-variety expressions like the Meunier and Blanc de Blancs highlight the quality of fruit from their vineyard sites. Limited edition releases, including barrel-aged cuvées, offer opportunities to explore more complex styles.

The Ashdown still wine range complements the sparkling portfolio with wines that capture the character of the estate. From the approachable Estate Blend to the distinctive Chasselas and Ortega, these wines demonstrate the versatility of the Sussex climate for quality still wine production.
