Southcott Vineyard exclusively produces English Sparkling Wine from grapes grown on their boutique estate. The vineyard is planted with classic Champagne grape varieties: 60% Chardonnay, 32% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier.

Their wines have garnered significant acclaim, with the Southcott Brut, Vintage 2018, winning a Gold Medal at the prestigious WineGB 2023 national competition and being listed as a finalist for the WineGB Award 2023 Best Vintage Classic Cuvée. In November 2021, Southcott Vineyard was also awarded the Roger Marchbank Cup for the best sparkling wine from a vineyard under 2 hectares. Previous vintages have received multiple silver and bronze medals in national and regional competitions.
