Wine, rooted in art.
Artelium was founded by Julie Bretland and her husband Mark Collins. The estate is on Streat Lane near Hassocks, in the Sussex South Downs, in the hamlet of Streat between Ditchling and Plumpton.
The vineyards are planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and the estate also grows disease resistant PIWI varieties, including Cabaret Noir. Artelium makes both sparkling and still wines, and the founders partnered with the winemakers Dermot Sugrue and Owen Elias.

Each wine in the Artefact series carries a newly commissioned artwork by a contemporary artist on its label, and Judith Alder has designed labels for Artelium wines. Will Nash’s sculpture Futures, Past stands on the way to the first vineyard, the estate holds art exhibitions, and Artelium Kitchen serves seasonal sharing plates of Sussex produce.
