Sussex is a county in the southeast of England, known for its picturesque countryside, historic towns, and growing wine industry. The region has a long history of agriculture, but it was not until the late 20th century that the production of wine began to take off. Today, Sussex is home to a number of award-winning wineries, producing a range of high-quality still and sparkling wines.
The main grapes grown in Sussex are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, which are used to produce both still and sparkling wines. The region is particularly known for its sparkling wines, which are made using the traditional method, similar to that used in Champagne. Sussex also produces a range of still wines, including white, red, and rosé styles.
