Try January at Artelium: Discover Innovative English Wines for a Fresh Start
Artelium’s award winning English Sparkling Wine: Blanc de Blancs 2018
January is no longer about giving things up; it’s about trying something new. Enter Try January: a movement focused on exploration, creativity, and mindful enjoyment. At Artelium, Try January is the perfect excuse to slow down, recalibrate after the festive season, and reconnect with wine in a more thoughtful, curious way.
Whether you’re reducing alcohol, drinking with more intention, or simply seeking something inspiring to start the year, our wines are designed to reward attention and experimentation: especially when paired with food.
What Is Try January?
Try January is about replacing restriction with discovery. Instead of cutting wine out completely, it encourages wine lovers to:
Explore new styles and producers
Drink more consciously and with food
Focus on quality over quantity
Seek out wines with a strong sense of place
English wine, with its precision, freshness, and innovation, fits perfectly into this mindset, and it’s where Artelium thrives.
The best way to discover something new? Come along to one of our complimentary tastings, hosted every Friday, Saturday & Sunday and discover 3 of our award-winning wines, free of charge!
Artelium Wines to Explore This January
Experimental English Wine: Artefact #7 - Motley Wild
Artefact #7 – Motley Wild
Bold, expressive, and unapologetically different, Artefact #7 – Motley Wild is a wild ferment: a celebration of innovative English winemaking. Equal parts of Chardonnay, Meunier & Pinot Gris were harvested from our two Sussex sites in October 2023 & naturally fermented together without additions to capture purity, texture, and tension in perfect unison
Layered and textural, this wine challenges expectations and rewards curiosity — ideal for Try January drinkers looking to step outside their comfort zone.
Enjoy it slowly, ideally alongside dishes such as grilled fish & meat dishes with fresh, zesty flavours. It’s a wine that sparks conversation and invites you to taste with intention.
Try Artefact #7 – Motley Wild and experience English wine without boundaries.

Pinot Noir Reserve 2023
Our Pinot Noir Reserve 2023 showcases the elegance and purity that English red wine does so well. Fresh red fruit, subtle spice, and fine structure make this an incredibly food-friendly wine: perfect for lighter January dishes without sacrificing depth or character.
This is a wine for those embracing balance: refined, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying without feeling heavy.

Artelium’s vintage English sparkling wine, our Blanc de Blancs 2018
Blanc de Blancs 2018
Nothing says optimism like a beautifully aged Blanc de Blancs. Our 2018 vintage offers precision, brightness, and complexity, with layers of citrus, brioche, and mineral freshness (plus it’s an award winner, bagging Gold at the 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards).
For Try January, it’s ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood and vegetable-led dishes: proof that sparkling wine isn’t just for celebrations, but for everyday moments done well.
