The Story

Established in 2005 at Furner’s Green in Sussex, Bluebell Vineyard Estates produces the Hindleap range of traditional-method sparkling wines and the Ashdown collection of still wines. Its cellar door overlooks the estate, where visitors can take vineyard and woodland walks.

Our Terroir & Heritage

The Vineyards

The estate at Furner’s Green includes vineyards and woodland. It grows grapes for both the Hindleap sparkling range and the Ashdown still wines, with walking routes open to visitors.

The Winemaker

WINEMAKER

Kevin Sutherland

Kevin Sutherland oversees the blending of Bluebell’s Hindleap sparkling wines. The base wines are kept separately on their lees through winter and do not undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving their natural acidity. They are then blended for a second fermentation in bottle, followed by extended ageing on the lees.
