The Winemaker
Roy Cook runs the vineyard near Battle in East sussex and was nominated an Eco Hero by the Daily Telagraph in 2008. His award winning wines are based on a revolutionary process unearthed in a 19th century German Gothic Text book.
The Vineyard
Today the vineyard covers 23 acres, which includes the vineyard at Bodiam Castle converted to organics in 1994 and the vineyard at Spilstead converted in 2006. Further plantings of two acres of black grape vines of the variety 'REGENT' were carried out in spring 2000, with additional acreage planted between 2001 and 2003.
The vineyard produces approximately 15,000 bottles of organic English wine a year. Although there are a total of around 400 vineyards in Britain, Sedlescombe is one of only four which have adopted organic methods.
