OUR WINES
From Vine to Wine
Our eldest vines are now 30 years old, and include Pinot Noir, Bacchus and Reichensteiner. More recently, we have added some Chardonnay to the mix. We’re proud of the fact that our grapes go from grapevine to bottle without leaving Brissenden.
English Wine is Here to Stay
We believe English Sparkling Wine has a bright future, and that it is vineyards in the southeast which are at the forefront of this exciting adventure.
Brissenden is particularly special in that our wines are produced from our own grapes, which never leave the site during the process.
A Skilled Craft
Each year, we keep a selection of our grapes to make into wine, which is produced at Brissenden by our winemaker Kobus Louw.
We pick our Pinot Noir grapes when the balance of sugars and acidity is perfect for our Brut Sparkling Wine.
After the harvesting, a delicious, quality wine is ensured by making it from the first pressings and letting it sit for at least two years on the lees. As with much of the vineyard work, the processes within the winery are done by hand.
Its admirers swear by our crisp, dry Bacchus’ elderflower notes. We also have a number of other wine offerings, as well as producing a fine sparkling cider.
