The Journal

We have pulled into the Power Station and decked the Turbine Hall with English bubbly!

URGENT PRODUCT RECALL: 20 bottles of 'The Common', an overly-sweet and achingly predictable Sparkling Wine of It*ly have been lost in Christmas cases. Find one and receive a YEAR OF THE UNCOMMON as compensation.

The grapes are all in. Every last one of them. Today, we raise a can, and a few grapes, to our largest ever harvest! This time of year is huge moment for us and a culmination of a massive collective effort. Phil, our Head of Wine, is here with the post-pick analysis.

When we welcomed visitors to our vineyard for the first time, we did so with a little poem. A poem hastily rewritten 6 times due to rapidly changing weather conditions now here for your viewing pleasure.

For the very first time we opened our vineyard up to visitors! A gaggle of wine-lovers joined us in our vines’ home on the northern edge of the Kent Downs.

Our vineyard unfurls down a south facing slope of the Kent Downs, a few moments outside Faversham. This is the northern edge of the Area of Natural Beauty, an area with the perfect terroir for English wines. 

Our Rosé has launched on BA’s in-flight trolley! You can now find Eleanor, our Bubbly Rosé, taking to the skies on all European short-haul flights.

It's B Corp month! But what's a B Corp? Why are we one? Why should you care? This has all that and more.

The Uncommon, with your help, will directly support the reintroduction of two species over the next 5 years.

Every can sold will make the UK wilder. We are unbelievably excited to announce the next step for our partnership.

Chief Uncommoners, Alex and Henry, on what they’ve learnt in the first 5 years, where we’re going in the next 5, and what type of biscuit they are.

Our 2022 harvest is almost complete and the grapes coming into the winery are looking world class. This year was the hottest summer on record since 1884, so our vines have been very happy.

We are thrilled to announce that we are now a Certified B Corporation™! Another first as we become the only UK wine company to achieve this status.

We're proud to announce our partnership with the Kent Wildlife Trust on a ground-breaking new wilding project.

When we were first told our humble little cans would be flying as part of an exclusive tasting experience in Upper Class on Virgin Atlantic’s newest A350 aircraft we were completely giddy.  

As the Official Partner of National Picnic Week, we needed a multi-talented Uncommoner to help kick off our summer series of alfresco inspiration.

Our exploration of all things al fresco continues with Kirthanaa, one of our very favourite supperclub hosts and stylists, and a rising star of Instagram, delighting all with her tablescaping.

This week we're getting the picnic down low from Toria, founder and co-director (with her sister Catherine) of GRAPE & Fig, the UK's first and finest grazing company.
