Nutbourne Redfold Winery LLP

A NEW BOUTIQUE WINERY IN WEST SUSSEX

Peter and Bridget Gladwin (owners of Nutbourne Vineyards) and Charles and Wendy Outhwaite (owners of Redfold Vineyards) are joining forces to establish a new boutique winery exclusively dedicated to the production of their two prestigious English Marques.

The winery, situated between the two vineyards, is currently under construction being fitted out with state of the art equipment imported from Germany and France. It will have an initial production capacity of 100,000 litres a year and will be ready for this year’s harvest in October.

Owen Elias, the former head of winemaking at Chapel Down in Kent and four-time winner of UK Winemaker of The Year, will become consultant winemaker for the new enterprise once his contractual obligations to Chapel Down are completed. Other members of the new winemaking team are currently being recruited.

The two vineyards are less than 1km from each other just outside the village of Nutbourne, near Pulborough in West Sussex. They both share the same gentle south facing slopes of greensand soil along with their well known neighbour Nyetimber Vineyards. Nutbourne Vineyards have been established for nearly 30 years and produce a range of award-winning white and rosé still wines together with their much acclaimed Nutty Brut Sparkling.

Redfold was planted in 2008 with the classic Champagne grape varieties of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Their first commercial crop will be this summer and their first wines will be released in 2013.

The 4 partners Peter, Bridget, Charles and Wendy are all hugely excited about their new winery enterprise. Their unique terroir, focus on quality at every stage, commitment to small, exclusive production and determination to recruit the best winery team in the country is a perfect formula for success.
