There are many styles of English Bacchus. For ours, we try to capture the bright, crisp green fruits of this variety to make it an incredible aperitif. Enjoy this with snacks before dinner, or light dishes & starters like Asparagus, fish and salads. A great alternative to Sauvignon Blanc, and a classic English wine.
Dry, with crisp acidity and a delicate, persistent mousse. This wine displays crisp apple and citrus fruit notes perfectly balanced with creamy brioche roundness and a long refreshing finish. Quality English sparkling wine at its finest!
Plumpton Estate Brut Classic NV is made by the traditional method using a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Grapes are hand-picked and fermented before our winemaker carefully crafts our signature blend with the help of our wine students. The wine spends at least 2 years ageing on lees in the bottle before riddling and disgorging.
A sophisticated Blanc de Blancs with an elegant nose of fresh citrus, brioche, and white flowers. On the palate, vibrant notes of lime, marzipan, and almond meld seamlessly with delicate toasty nuances.
A subtle chalky minerality adds depth, while fine, persistent bubbles enhance its refined character. This wine offers a long, complex finish, making it a truly celebratory expression of elegance and craftsmanship.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Rosé is lighter and dryer than the 2021 harvest with red fruit flavours and just a hint of citrus. This wine is the perfect summer wine.
This is rosé for grownups, crafted to express the full purity of the grapes it originates from. It’s an invitingly pale pink, with tangy aromas of lemons, cranberries, rhubarb and raspberries. In the mouth this silky wine is utterly refreshing with bright red fruits and citrus lingering on the crisp finish. Makes friends with all kinds of foods.
A fresh, elegant and thoughtful wild ferment from equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris.
This wine has an expression of mixed creamy layers of red fruits and yellow stone fruit, such as bright red strawberries, young cherries, freshly cut mango and ripening banana. Medium refreshing acidity with medium body with generous midpalate texture. Crafted by Winemakers Solly Monyamane & Owen Elias with labels from artist The Baron Gilvan.
This wine is a blend of our Ortega and Bacchus grapes to produce a white wine displaying aromas of elderflower, delicate florals and a delicious fruit palate of fresh cut green apple and peach.
Our elegant 2019 sparkling is perfect for all occasions. Pale straw in colour with a stream of fine bubbles, our brut reserve has a well-developed autolytic character on the nose with aromas of English apples, summer fruit and a toastiness on the palate. It has a rich mouth feel and will continue to develop further complexity with bottle age.
The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. After blending, the wine underwent a secondary fermentation in bottle and then spent 36 months on its yeast lees and a further 6 months on cork in cellar. Our first disgorgement of the 2019 vintage was released to wine club members in 2023.
Classic cool climate Pinot Noir, delicately aromatic with Red berry fruits, cherry, raspberry and spicy vanilla with soft but firm tannins.
“This isn’t just very good English Pinot Noir it’s simply very good Pinot Noir” is how our Head Winemaker, Fergus Elias, described his newest vintage of Luke’s Pinot Noir, from the superb 2022 harvest.
Inspired by our home, with flavours reminiscent of English cherries and a touch of spice. Coming from vineyards planted specifically for the creation of English Pinot Noir, this wine is rich, ripe and structured.
With our estate’s combination of the prime Wealden clay vineyards, Burgundy clones and careful winemaking, our winemakers have built Balfour’s reputation for producing some of England’s finest red wines. And Luke’s Pinot Noir is a superb example of a style which is growing in reputation and drinking brilliantly right now.
Here’s three reasons to try our new Pinot Noir now:
1. Cool climate excellence: this style is closer to New World Pinot Noir, rather than traditional French examples, but still comes from Burgundy clones. It’s the best of both worlds.
2. Lightly oaked: with judicious use of French and American barrels to add a savoury complexity and depth
3. Very on-trend: English red wine is a really exciting frontier, and this is a critically acclaimed example which is even served in Michelin-starred restaurants.
Our pairing guide: This is a light, summer fruit flavoured red. Our winemaker recommends serving this lightly chilled (just 10 minutes in the fridge before uncorking). The fresh fruit flavours and low tannins mean it will complement, rather than overpower, delicate flavours – making it ideal with white meats, roast vegetables, mushrooms and even herby lamb. Ferg had it with a butterflied leg of lamb marinated in harissa and Moroccan spices cooked on the BBQ and can confirm this pairing is also quite good
