Tilsmore Wines

About Tilsmore Wines

Tilsmore Wines is a boutique English vineyard nestled in the beautiful East Sussex countryside, where the rolling hills and favourable microclimate create ideal conditions for growing premium wine grapes. Established in 2017, this relatively young but ambitious South East England winery has quickly established itself as a noteworthy producer within the expanding English wine industry.

The vineyard cultivates approximately 1.80 hectares across its site, with plantings featuring the classic Champagne grape varieties of Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir. These three varieties form the foundation of England's finest sparkling wines, and Tilsmore follows this tradition admirably. The estate focuses on producing traditional method sparkling wine, crafted with the same care and attention that characterises the finest English wine producers in the South East region.

The East Sussex location provides the essential cool maritime climate that allows English vineyards to produce grapes with the necessary acidity and structure for creating elegant sparkling wines. Tilsmore Wines exemplifies how smaller boutique producers can achieve impressive results by concentrating on quality over quantity, dedicating careful attention to every vine and every bottle produced.

Visitors seeking to explore Tilsmore Wines should note that this East Sussex vineyard is not currently open to visitors. This private approach allows the winemaking team to focus entirely on cultivating their vines and producing their wines without the demands of public tastings and tours. Those interested in tasting or purchasing Tilsmore Wines are encouraged to contact the winery directly to inquire about available wines and purchasing options.

Tilsmore Wines represents the exciting growth of English wine production in South East England, demonstrating how new plantings established in the late 2010s are now maturing into productive vineyards capable of crafting impressive English wines. As the UK wine industry continues to gain international recognition, producers like Tilsmore Wines contribute to the reputation of East Sussex as a serious wine-producing region.
