English Wine Week is back – and continuing until next Sunday. It’s a brilliant excuse to explore our ever-evolving homegrown scene – trawl winegb.co.uk for details of tastings, tours and events. To celebrate, I’ve picked four bottles that show just how diverse and exciting English wine has become. Sure, it can be more expensive – but the prices reflect a young, quality-driven industry that’s all about craftsmanship over volume.
Finest English Sparkling Rosé Brut NV (11.5%), £21.50, Tesco.
From the heavyweight Balfour Winery, this fizz bursts with pink blossom and has a delicious saline finish. Taken with afternoon tea, it’s a joy.
English Orange Wine 2024 (11%), £15, M&S.
Orange is everywhere this summer, and M&S’s lightly fragrant newcomer from Kent is ideal if you’re curious about skin-contact styles but unsure where to start.
Bowler & Brolly Pétillant Naturel (10.5%), £12.99, Aldi (in-store from 26 June).
Yes, English Pet-Nat is coming to Aldi. Zesty with apple, it’s lightly fizzy, low in alcohol and made to be sipped in the sunshine.
Dear Noodles Rosé 2023 (12%), £24, sugruesouth downs.com.
Winemaker Dermot Sugrue’s rosé is all about electrifying freshness. Named after the vineyard’s beloved lurcher, it’s a standout.
