Our Origin
- Our Origin
Leonardslee Family Vineyards is the realisation of a vision held by Penny Streeter OBE, entrepreneur, founder of A24 Group, and the driving force behind one of England's most ambitious estate projects. When Penny acquired Leonardslee, she saw not just a historic landscape but the conditions for world-class sparkling wine.
Guided by South African winemaker, Johann Fourie, and viticulturist Barry Anderson, the estate brings a new precision to the English sparkling wine conversation. Estate grown, estate made from vine to bottle on a single 170-acre property in West Sussex.
In its debut, Leonardslee has drawn attention from Decanter, James Suckling, Jancis Robinson, Oz Clarke, Jamie Goode and Vinous and taken its place in the World's 50 Best Vineyards for 2025.
