English contract winery sees growing demand for services
11 March 2021 By Phoebe French
The CEO of Kent-based Defined Wine, Henry Sugden, said that the business has been ging steadily since it was founded in 2018 and now has 28 clients, with the aim to “stay slightly ahead of demand”.
Defined Wine was founded by Sugden in 2018 and now has two harvests under its belt. With no vineyards of its own, the company makes wine for producers of all shapes and sizes, and also offers contract bottling, labelling, riddling, disgorging and laboratory analysis services.
Defined Wine pressed over 400 tonnes of grapes last year, and disgorged over 90,000 bottles, numbers which are set to increase this year. Its facility boasts three presses and over 100 tanks, ranging in size from 400-litres to 20,000-litres.
