The Wine

Kinsbrook Vineyard cultivates traditional grape varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Bacchus, Pinot Gris, and Précoce Pinot Noir across its three vineyard sites. From these grapes, they produce a range of still white, sparkling white, and rosé wines under their 'KIN' brand. Their wines are crafted to reflect the terroir of West Sussex, with a notable Vintage Cuvée 2014 described as a sophisticated Sussex sparkling wine.

The vineyard is committed to sustainable viticulture, building an inclusive and sustainable lifestyle culture, and is described as a modern, sustainable winery. Their restaurant also champions sustainably-sourced local produce. Kinsbrook operates its own winery on site, allowing for complete control over the winemaking process from vine to glass.
