“I shall drink no wine before it’s time! OK, it’s time.”
Groucho Marx
LOCAL SPARKLING
Chapel Down is proud to be England’s largest wine producer and is changing the way the world thinks about English wine. Located only a stone’s throw away, they combine grapes grown from Sussex, Kent & Essex while working alongside iconic British institutions such as The Oxford & Cambridge Boat Race and more recently have become the official sparkling wine sponsor of the English Cricket Team.
We’ve chosen Chapel Down because they are not only a fabulous producer of wines, but also passionate about sustainability, with renewable electricity used for all sites and the re-use of grape skins to create the spirits featured in The Gunpowder Bar. The wastage is then sent for anaerobic digestion to produce renewable energy.
