Meet the family-run vineyard crafting exquisite English wines since 1971

A family-run vineyard in the heart of the Sussex countryside, Carr Taylor have been producing prize winning English wines since the 1970s – winning a raft of awards along the way!

David and Linda Carr Taylor realised their ambition of planting a vineyard when, in 1969, David purchased 21 acres of land surrounding his family home in the beautiful East Sussex countryside

The initial planting commenced in 1971 with varieties such as Reichensteiner, Gutenborner, Muller Thurgau, Dornfelder and the classic champagne varieties, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay

The glorious summer of 1976 heralded the first commercially viable harvest for the vineyard and some 2000 bottles of wine were made. Since then, Carr Taylor has gone from strength to strength winning their first award in 1983 in the International Wine and Spirit Competition. The following years have seen a succession of medals in international competitions, accruing in excess of 200 awards.

With their son Alexander as Winemaker for over 20 years, the family business prides itself on producing elegant cool climate sparkling wines that reflect the south of England’s unique terroir.
