We're a collective driven by three things. Firstly, our passion for wine. Secondly, we share a real commitment to the environment. Last - but by no means least - we want to share the joy of creativity.
We believe that you don't need to rip up the rule book, or compromise quality, to do things differently.
We work with local growers to carefully source and expertly blend grapes. Then, we take our wines, and package them in innovative pouches with reduced carbon footprints. The result? Excellent, sustainable English wines.
We make all our wines in small batches. The labels for each of these showcase a new or emerging artist. The pouch is their blank canvas, and we're delighted to share their talents with you.

Bagged = Better
We take pride in packaging our sustainable wines in bags.
We have a few reasons for this. Bagged wine stays much fresher for longer. In every glass, you’ll taste all the flavours that were present in the vineyard and winery.
It's also much better for the environment. We feel it makes no sense to put a good-value wine from a UK vineyard in single use glass. It's expensive and heavy to transport - it's just bad for the environment.
Head to our shop to pick up a bag of our Pinot Gris, and join the bagged revolution for yourself.
