What’s even more exciting in the UK wine scene is the evolution beyond the classic Champagne trio of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Talented winemakers are planting new varieties, from Albariño to Pinot Gris, and producing expressive still wines as well as sparkling. With more growers entering the scene, land being snapped up, and French houses investing in our soils, there’s never been a better time to explore what English wine has to offer.
