ARTELIUM
Owners Julie Bretland and Mark Collins of Artelium Wine Estate hold a deep interest in both wine and art, which they consider to be closely intertwined.
The concept behind the name Artelium was born with a fusion of the words:
ARTE noun
The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
IUM suffix
Used to indicate the setting where a given activity is carried out. e.g. atrium, aquarium, emporium, planetarium, terrarium.
This husband-and-wife team, merged their two passions to create Artelium. Recognizing the opportunity of cultivating vineyards to produce delightful and thought-provoking wines while concurrently showcasing contemporary artwork in collaborative spaces. This includes commissioning artists to design their wine labels.
It is important not to underestimate the significance of winemaking science at Artelium. The estate encompasses two distinct vineyards and collaborates with two renowned contemporary English winemakers: Dermot Sugrue, responsible for sparkling wines, and Owen Elias, overseeing the still wines.
The primary vineyard, Artelium East, is situated in East Sussex near Brighton. It occupies a south-facing slope primarily composed of clay soil. Their "West" vineyard in Madehurst, is characterized by pure South Downs chalk. Additionally, since Artelium produces by the vintage, each wine is a true experience of a specific time and terroir, that can never be replicated.
The application of scientific principles has yielded remarkable results. At the 2022 WineGB awards, Artelium's Blanc De Blancs 2015 claimed the trophy for the best overall sparkling wine, while the estate was recognized as the Best Newcomer and Supreme Champion.
It is within these connections that true and exhilarating creativity, alongside exceptional wines, finds its birthplace.
