Ashling Park Estate is renowned for producing a range of acclaimed English still and sparkling wines from grapes grown on its 50-acre West Sussex estate. Their loamy soil and sheltered position provide an ideal environment for classic Champagne varieties like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, alongside Regent, Rondo, and Bacchus for their still wines. The estate also produces its own Pinot Noir gin, and other spirits such as vodka and rum. The winemaking process is supervised by the highly regarded winemaker, Dermot Sugrue.

The vineyard has garnered numerous prestigious accolades for its wines:

The Blanc de Blancs received a Gold Medal at the 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards.

The Classic Cuvée NV has repeatedly won the President's Trophy for 'Best Classic Cuvée NV' at the Wine GB Awards in both 2020 and 2021, also earning Decanter Gold and a Regional Trophy in 2020, and a further gold in 2022.

Their Sparkling Rosé NV claimed the Wine GB Trophy in both 2020 and 2022 and was named 'Best Sparkling Rosé in UK' in 2022.

The 2022 Estate Selection Pinot Noir was crowned Wine GB Trophy Winner 2024 for 'Best in the UK', specifically for Best Red Pinot Noir.

While not holding specific certifications like Organic or Regenerative, Ashling Park Estate emphasizes sustainability through practices such as sourcing ingredients for their restaurant from local farms, some less than a mile away, and using honey from their own bees on the estate.
