Learn about us

We are the UK's first English Vermouthery, on the site of the solar-powered Downsview vineyard, specialising in award-winning English Vermouth and bottled cocktails.

Everything is made on site in Crowborough, East Sussex using English wine, predominantly fresh botanicals we grow ourselves or forage for, and spirits from local distilleries. 

We were the first producer of an all-English Vermouth made exclusively from English wine and only English botanicals, the perfect reflection of 'terroir'.

Our head winemaker and director is Gnina Balchin, Food scientist and Oenologist, who has combined flavour chemistry and oenological science to allow the creation of a range of exceptionally well balanced English Vermouths and bottled cocktails that expertly showcase every ingredient.
