London Cru’s founder, Cliff Roberson, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Foxhole Vineyard in West Sussex(near Bolney). The 20,000 vines are primarily made up of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris with a small pocket of Bacchus.
This acquisition will guarantee our supply of grapes for future vintages and also allow quality control of the fruit.
London Cru Winemaker Alex Hurley – “Differing from most of the producers in the UK, London Cru has a focus on crafting top quality still wines. Whilst many vineyards are being planted around the UK, few growers truly have this still wine focus. Foxhole Vineyard marks London Cru’s ambitious project to increase the quality and styles of still wines being made in the UK by taking advantage of controlling every stage of production from vine to glass.”
Less than 50 miles from their urban winery Foxhole Vineyard demonstrates London Cru’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of winemaking and elevating the quality of still wines in the UK. We are very excited to start this next chapter that embodies the spirit of London Cru’s innovation.”
