Michelin-starred chef and culinary national treasure Angela Hartnett has joined our star-studded raft of investors, alongside Mr & Mrs Smith founders James and Tamara Lohan, as well as ex-Fortnum & Mason CEO Ewan Venters.
Angela says, “I instantly fell in love with Dermot and Ana’s enthusiasm for life and their delicious wines – I didn’t take much convincing to invest! I’m so excited to be pouring Sugrue’s wines at all my restaurants: Murano, Café Murano, Cicoria at the Royal Opera House, as well as at Lime Wood.”
“We've been blown away by the wines that Dermot, Ana and the Sugrue team have been producing,” say James and Tamara. “Now, we're delighted to be supporting them on the next leg of their journey – we cannot wait to see what they conjure up.”
This fresh round of investment enables us to further its development of the winery in Wivelsfield Green and expand the cellar door and hugely successful series of pop-up events, which this year has featured Hartnett and Neil Borthwick, Mark Hix and Henry Harris, Mitch and Ben Tonks, and Kamil Oseka and Andy Wright.
Dermot says, “We couldn’t be happier to have such accomplished people join our already stellar group of investors. Angela, James, Tamara, and Ewan are all at the top of their game and are well-versed in everything food, drink, and hospitality. I look forward to them helping us take Sugrue South Downs and our boutique wines to the next level.”
