Plumpton College appoints Sam Linter as Wine Director
Plumpton College, the UK’s centre of excellence in wine education, training, and research, has announced the appointment of Sam Linter as the new Wine Director of Plumpton’s Wine Division.
Prior to joining Plumpton College, Linter served as the Managing Director and Head Winemaker at Bolney Wine Estate. Under her leadership, Bolney Wine Estate pioneered a successful tourism model, leading the way as one of the first UK vineyards to do so. Her strategies resulted in an increase in turnover by over 600% within a decade. Furthermore, she oversaw the first-ever sale of an English wine brand to a major international sparkling wine group.
In addition to her new role at Plumpton College, Linter continues her current role as the Chair of Wine GB.
“Her dedication to raising awareness about English wine is a hallmark of her career,” says Plumpton College as it announces the appointment.
“Throughout the years, Linter has been an active participant in various groups and initiatives aimed at nurturing the industry's growth and amplifying its recognition. Notably, she led Bolney to be one of the founding members Sustainable Wines of Great Britain during her tenure. This commitment led to the business achieving full accreditation for its eco-friendly approach.”
