Description

About Oastbrook Estate Vineyard

America Brewer, a winemaker and owner from Bahia, Brazil, found her passion for vines at a young age. She recalls climbing an ancient vine at her childhood home, sparking a lifelong connection. After traveling the world, America discovered her English heritage and settled in East Sussex with her family. Inspired by her childhood memories, she planted vines at her new home, an Oast house near Bodiam Castle.

The vines thrived, and America decided to produce wine. Encouraged by local vineyard owners, she studied wine production at Plumpton College. America's research revealed the unique terroir of her valley, shaped by sandstone, clay, and silt.

In 2018, America planted her first vines and established Oastbrook Vineyard, named after the natural brook surrounding her farm. Her wine is a testament to her journey, bridging her Brazilian heritage and English roots. Today, America tends to her vines with her dog Lora, crafting wine that reflects her story and the beauty of the English countryside.
