Artelium produces a range of exceptional still and sparkling wines.
The vineyard's unique terroir in the South Downs provides ideal conditions for growing classic varieties like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, alongside other carefully selected grapes.
Chardonnay (2022)
A beautifully elegant unoaked white featuring vibrant notes of pineapple, peach blossom, and zesty lemon pastry—bright, fresh, and true to Sussex chalk terroir.
Pinot Noir (2022)
A lively red characterized by bright ruby fruit, gentle tannins, and aromatic red berries. One of the few expressive English Pinot Noirs, recommended by wine critics .
Pinot Gris (2023)
A crisp and aromatic white with hints of orchard fruit and spice. Clean and refreshing, with subtle complexity from the Burgundy-clone vines.
Rosé (2022)
A pale, dry rosé with fresh strawberry, raspberry, and delicate floral notes. Bright acidity makes it an ideal summer sip—easygoing yet elegant.
Blanc de Blancs (2015, vintage)
Made solely from Chardonnay, this traditional-method sparkling delivers refined citrus-lemon sorbet flavours, delicate orange blossom on the nose, and a crisp, enduring finish.
Makers Rosé (2015, vintage)
A signature sparkling rosé blend (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier), with lively red-berry aromas, winter spice, creamy strawberry layers, and a punchy cranberry-grapefruit palate—savoury and food-friendly
Curators Cuvée (2014, vintage)
A structured sparkling made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Expect crisp green apple and pear, toasted brioche, and a steely, mineral-driven palate with chalky texture
