2018 | Busi Jacobsohn | Brut

Producer Information

Both in its name and in its unconventional colour scheme of blue and orange, Busi Jacobsohn is one of England’s most distinctive new wine brands. A single estate producer focussing entirely on 100% estate-grown vintage sparkling wines, I was excited to finally have a chance to visit this hugely promising family venture from husband and wife team, Douglas and Susanna Busi Jacobsohn. The biggest take-away from my visit was just how passionate Douglas is about this project – it’s a genuine labour of love. The former chief executive of marine insurer, Skuld, was in his absolute element amongst his hand-manicured vines. Five hectares were hand-planted in 2015 due to persistent rains ruling out mechanical planting. Douglas continues to relish his time in the vineyard and maintains the vines daily. It’s very much a change of pace for Douglas, who explains: “Suddenly going from living life in cities and on aeroplanes I can now hold a bottle of my wine from my own vineyard in my hand – it’s so very rewarding.” His passion is endearing, and with the rolling hills that the vineyard overlooks, it’s no surprise to understand why it’s such a rewarding lifestyle.
