Highweald, Brut Rosé, NV, Sussex, England
Producer Profile
Highweald Wine Estate began in 2016 with a bold vision and 120,000 vines planted across the rolling hills of the Sussex High Weald – an area of outstanding natural beauty and one of England’s most compelling terroirs. From day one, our ambition was clear: to craft world-class sparkling wines without compromise.
The first harvest arrived in 2018, and the results spoke for themselves. In their debut year of release, Highweald was awarded Best Wine in First Year of Production, alongside both the English Sparkling Trophy and the Non-Vintage English Sparkling Trophy at the 2022 International Wine Challenge – recognition that affirmed the quality we set out to achieve from the very start.
Sustainability at their Core
Highweald farm with a light touch, prioritising soil health, low-impact vineyard practices, and responsible stewardship of our land. Every decision – from canopy management to harvest timing – is made to protect the vineyard for future generations while elevating the purity of each of their wines.
Conservation That Nurtures the Vineyard
Wildflower meadows, bat boxes, bird habitats, and flourishing hedgerows support the rich biodiversity that surrounds our vines. By encouraging these natural ecosystems, Highweald create a balanced, thriving environment that enhances vine resilience and vineyard character.
Viticulture

The award-winning wines from Highweald are made with skill and expertise from ancient clay and sandstone soils, resulting in opulent wines that are satisfyingly complex and easy to enjoy.
Blended across vintages to showcase the estate’s most expressive red-fruit character, Highweald Rosé NV is shaped by the gentle touch and precision that defines Highweald’s winemaking. Its cool-climate origins lend a natural brightness and finesse that set this rosé apart.
