After more than 35 years of pioneering and award-winning organic wine production, Roy and Irma Cook have sold Sedlescombe Organic Vineyard and are embarking on the next chapter of their lives. The new owners, Sophie and Kieran Balmer are local to the area; having lived in Eastbourne since 2008. Being a pair of food fans, it was only ever a matter of time before they became interested in wine – visiting wine areas from Provence to Stellenbosch to the Salinas Valley has allowed them to start learning about the science and art involved in winemaking. The opportunity arose last year to make an exciting life change that allowed them to invest in an established, independent local business and they simply couldn’t resist!
