| Spirit of the Downs |
| Multi Award Winning Sussex Brandy, Grape Vodka & Liqueurs We are excited to introduce Spirit of the Downs, a celebration of the rich tradition of spirit-making and the beauty of Sussex. Our award-winning range, from Sussex Brandies to Sussex Grape Vodka and Liqueurs, is crafted with passion, dedication, and a commitment to sustainability. |
 Bridgett Ryan and Michael Yeoman Our journey begins with partnerships with renowned Sussex vineyards like Breaky Bottom, Sugrue South Downs and Plumpton College. After the grapes are pressed for sparkling wines, we repurpose the remaining pomace—seeds, stems, and skins—to create our spirits, ensuring every part of the grape is utilized. This sustainable process not only minimizes waste but also captures the true essence of Sussex’s terroir. The pomace is fermented with champagne yeast, sugar, and water, transforming into a unique base. After 11 months, it’s distilled, and our brandies are aged in English barrels or French oak, developing rich, complex flavours. |
| We also take pride in closing the loop—our waste is used to fertilize the orchard at Trenchmore Farm, promoting renewal and sustainability. We’re thrilled to announce that our distillery at Unit 3 Bookers Farm, Foxhole Lane Bolney, RH17 5NB is now open for tours and tastings. You can visit our shop Wednesday through Saturday from 12-5pm. If you have a passion for craft spirits, we invite you to experience Spirit of the Downs first hand. Trade and corporate gift enquiries: Bridgette@spiritofthedowns.co.uk |
