London Cru’s Vineyard
Where do we get our grapes?
Our 6.5ha site is situated near the town of Bolney, West Sussex. Just 45min from London.
This vineyard was planted in 2008 & 2009 and produces Pinot Noir, Bacchus, & Pinot Gris
Roughly 20,000+ vines are planted here that can produce 20-50 tonnes of fruit per year depending on the weather conditions and yield management.
Cliff’s Woodland Trust Project
Cliff, our founder, is a believer in giving back and doing his part to ensure the English environment is well looked after. A few years back he purchased a field and with the help of the Woodland Trust planted a small woodland in memory of his son Luke.
This woodland is open for everyone to enjoy and walk through and will continue to be a place of serenity for many generations to come.
Check out the story of this project in this video.
Our Vineyard at Harvest
Harvest 2023 was the year we took ownership of our vineyard.
Previously we purchased grapes from sites all over the UK, but over time we fell in love with West Sussex. This site was perfect for London Cru’s growth plans - the perfect location, the perfect mix of grape varieties, and most importantly is a genuinely lovely site.
2023 was regarded as one of the best harvests ever…..check out the above galleries to see why!
