England, with its temperate climate and chalky soils, has emerged as a producer of world-class sparkling wines rivaling even Champagne. From the rolling hills of Sussex to the historic landscapes of Kent, our English wine collection champions the best of British terroir. Revel in the gentle bubbles and nuanced flavors that define English viticulture.
The chalk that runs under Champagne surfaces again in the South Downs and North Downs of Sussex, Kent and Hampshire. With a cool climate and long growing season, southern England now makes sparkling wine that regularly beats Champagne in blind tastings.
The best English sparkling wines use the traditional method: a second fermentation in the bottle, followed by ageing on the lees for richness and fine bubbles. Most are made from the Champagne grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
Serve well chilled at 6–8°C in a white-wine glass or tulip flute, which shows the aromas better than a narrow flute. English sparkling wine is a natural choice for British celebrations, and a thoughtful gift for visitors from abroad. Compare it with Champagne or browse all sparkling wine.
