Nutbourne Vineyards is the latest producer to be added to the Bancroft portfolio. 

Based in West Sussex, Nutbourne makes still and sparkling wines that capture the South Downs terroir. It was first planted in 1979 and acquired by the Gladwin family in 1991. 

Eight grape varieties are planted on the estate: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Bacchus, Huxelrebe and Reichensteiner. Winemaking is led by Gregory Gladwin. 

From 10 September, Sussex Reserve NV, Barrel Fermented Chardonnay NV and Blush Rosé 2023 will all be available through Bancroft. 

On the partnership, Damian Carrington, managing director at Bancroft Wines, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Nutbourne Vineyards, a truly special English estate in the heart of West Sussex.  

“The Gladwin family has nurtured Nutbourne for over three decades, creating outstanding wines that reflect the unique character of the South Downs. With its combination of traditional varieties, meticulous viticulture, and a philosophy of minimal-intervention winemaking, Nutbourne produces wines of authenticity and charm. We are thrilled to bring these wines into our portfolio and to share the Nutbourne story with our customers.” 

Peter Gladwin, proprietor of Nutbourne Vineyards, added: “The Gladwin family have enjoyed a long relationship with Bancroft; our London restaurants have listed from their portfolio over the years. We are now absolutely delighted that Bancroft have taken on some of our own wines. We greatly look forward to working with the team and welcoming their customers at the vineyard.”
