Breaky Bottom is a tiny, legendary wine estate nestled in the chalky South Downs, planted by owner Peter Hall in 1974, making it one of the oldest in the UK. The estate produces traditional method sparkling wines of exceptional quality and character, thanks to its unique terroir, kid-glove vineyard husbandry and careful winemaking with extended ageing on the lees and cork
"Aged on the lees, this wine has fresh lemon aromas and a subtle flinty minerality. The distinctive Seyval Blanc grape has been the foundation for wine-making at Breaky Bottom for many years."

It is thought that the Romans first introduced vines to England, however due to a combination of poor climate and the strong trading links with France and Italy (leading to a ready supply of wine), wine-making never really took off. Fast forward a few centuries and wine making is now a burgeoning industry because of improved wine making techniques and climate change.
