The Story

Hidden Spring’s first vines were planted in Horam in 1986. The land later became a campsite before returning to wine production in 2015, when more than 24,000 vines were planted. A purpose-built winery opened for the first harvest from the new vineyard in 2018.

Richard and Sara Asman took over in 2022 after many years in South Africa. Their son Conrad runs the estate’s operations.

Our Terroir & Heritage

The Vineyards

The vineyard covers 13 acres of the 23-acre estate near Horam in East Sussex. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier supply the sparkling wines, while Bacchus and Pinot Gris are used for still whites. Cabernet Noir is a more recent addition for red wine.
