About Carr Taylor
In 1969, David Carr Taylor’s vision became reality when he planted a vineyard on his East Sussex family estate. The inaugural harvest in 1976 yielded 2,000 bottles, marking the beginning of Carr Taylor’s success. Over four decades, we’ve cultivated a reputation for excellence, earning over 150 international awards. Our unique terroir, sheltered by the Hastings Ridge and benefiting from the Gulf Stream, allows us to produce crisp, aromatic wines with flavors echoing local fruits like green apple and pear.
Our vineyard’s gentle slope, low altitude, and clay loam soils create an ideal environment. We’ve adapted German viticulture research to thrive in England’s cool climate. Our Geneva Double Curtain trellising system optimizes yields and minimizes frost damage. As pioneers in English winemaking, we’ve evolved, replanting with Bacchus, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Blanc. Our rustic winery, converted from 100-year-old stables, houses state-of-the-art equipment.
From harvesting to bottling, every step is taken on-site to preserve the natural flavors. Our passion for winemaking shines through in every bottle. Visit us and taste the essence of East Sussex. Join the Carr Taylor family on a journey through the rolling hills, vineyards, and winemaking traditions that make our wines truly special.

The Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir were whole bunch pressed with the Chardonnay formed purely from the cuvee fraction of the whole bunch press. The Pinot Gris was crushed and destemmed with a 2-hour soak. There was an addition of tea leaf tannins to the tank fermented wine to reduce the amount of added sulphites. 24% of the Chardonnay was fermented and aged in barrel for six months and 10% of the Chardonnay came from our Chardonnay ‘solera’ reserve tank which we started in 2015
