East Sussex vineyard business Off The Line has been put up for sale with BTF Partnership, with a guide price of £1.5m for either the issued share capital in the company or the assets of the business.
The site extends to 13.8 hectares in total and includes a purpose-built winery and 5.8 hectares of vines.
The original planting of Pinot Noir, Regent, Rondo and Dornfelder was increased in 2023 by a further planting of more Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.
Off The Line is known for its still and sparkling rosé wines sold as Hip Rosé, Dancing Dog Rosé, Dog Rosé, and The Lady of Charmat NV, all of which are produced in the on-site winery.
The vineyard currently has the capacity to produce 20,000 bottles of wine a year and this will increase from 2025 when the additional planting is in production.
Alex Cornwallis at BTF Partnership said: “English vineyards with wineries like Off The Line rarely come onto the open market. This is a fantastic opportunity for an existing business to expand or diversify into wine production or for a newcomer to enter the burgeoning English wine industry with the potential for further expansion.”
The sale includes all vineyard and winery machinery and equipment, much of which was purchased new, as well as a purpose-built cedar clad winery completed in 2017 which contains an office, laboratory, staff welfare facilities, tasting room and mezzanine area.
