Busi Jacobsohn
Susi and Douglas Jacobsohn's single-vineyard estate sits nestled in the rolling hills of East Sussex's High Weald at Eridge, close to Tunbridge Wells. Part of the High Weald AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), the family team began releasing sparkling wines from the 2017 vintage. Their 5 hectares are planted with 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier (across a number of clones) and currently make vintage-blends including a traditional white, rosé and blanc de noirs.
The family have exciting plans to release further blends and are committed to sustainability by reducing their carbon footprint, using biomass heating and solar power, plus exporting unused power back to the grid. They intervene as little as possible in the vineyard using minimal sprays and aim to increase biodiversity as much as possible.
