South Downs Cellars

Our motivation was borne out of a desire to be able to buy quality wines at all price points that were not mass-produced, or available on the majority of the multiple off-licence retailers that dominated the scene at that time. Run only by quality, knowledgeable staff, we have built our business over the years, and now have two shops and a thriving wholesale business.

We are currently wholesaling wines to over two dozen restaurants and pubs primarily in West Sussex. Wine Club Evenings (approx 4 per year in each shop) - Exclusive to Wine Club members, a range of wines are opened to taste at your leisure following a common theme; ie grape variety, country/region or maybe just our Top 10 wines of the moment.

Directly imported from this small, boutique champagne producer based in Pierry, Champagne. A 100% Chardonnay, this has a subtle bouquet of citrus, apple and tropical pineapple with a hint of vanilla on the soft, mineral rich finish. The barest of blushes, a hint of pink!

A wonderfully made Sussex sparkling ros, minerality from the Sussex chalk shining through and combining beautifully with the full pinot character and brioche toastiness from the long lees ageing.A blanc de blancs crmant, harvested from a group of small parcels with silica clay and chalk soils. Extremely fine bubbles, and a fresh, aromatic quality on the nose with lemony notes that will awaken your taste buds.

We are delighted to offer a range of gift hampers designed to show your thanks, appreciation and thoughts to friends, colleagues and loved ones. If our five ready made hampers do not fit the bill then we offer a bespoke hamper service, just give us a call on 01273 833830 / 01444 484025 or email us at hurst@southdownscellars.co.uk or lindfield@southdownscellars.co.uk.
