In the past ten years our wines are now becoming internationally recognised. At first it was our sparkling wines but with the warming of our climate, we’re seeing some stunning still wines that hark back to cooler climate wines we used to enjoy from France. This is not surprising when you consider that we are currently experiencing a similar climate that France used to enjoy in the seventies. As such, some of our Chardonnays are on a level with those bright, elegant mineral wines from Chablis in the past and our sparkling wines are more vibrant than many examples from traditional Champagne…..hence the Champagnoise are buying vineyards over here!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe promise of English wine is thrilling. Over time, the vineyards will mature and will begin to give wines even more expression of “Terroir”. When this occurs, we will be able to find our very own 1er and Grand “Crus”, producing wines to rival the very best in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Must Visit Vineyards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlbury, Surrey\u003c\/strong\u003e – Surrey’s finest vineyard in our minds.
