Welcome to The English Wine Company, where we take pride in offering you an unparalleled journey through the world of English wines. With our commitment to quality and a rich heritage in winemaking, we invite you to explore our exquisite offerings that bridge the gap between tradition and elegance.
The English Wine Renaissance
In recent years, the global wine landscape has witnessed a remarkable transformation, and England has played a significant role in this renaissance. Traditionally, English wine wasn’t always held in high regard, but today, it stands as a symbol of exceptional craftsmanship and taste. This shift is primarily attributed to the unique climate and terroir that England possesses, making it an ideal region for cultivating exceptional grapes.
Our Vineyards: A Tapestry of Terroir
At The English Wine Company, we are fortunate to own and operate several vineyards in picturesque locations across the country. Each vineyard has been carefully selected to harness the full potential of its unique terroir, resulting in grapes of unparalleled quality.
1. The Sussex Estate: A Tapestry of Flavors
Situated in the heart of Sussex, our estate benefits from the region’s temperate climate, with its gentle slopes and chalky soil mimicking the world-renowned terroirs of Champagne. This unique combination gives birth to sparkling wines that rival their French counterparts, characterized by delicate bubbles and crisp acidity.
2. The Kent Vineyard: A Symphony of Aromas
Our Kent vineyard, nestled amidst the rolling hills, is where we cultivate aromatic grape varieties that produce wines with captivating fragrances. The gentle sea breeze and the warmth of the sun infuse our wines with floral and fruity notes that linger on the palate.
3. The Cornwall Winery: Bold and Robust
In the southwestern region of Cornwall, we craft bold and robust red wines. The maritime influence of the Atlantic Ocean imparts a unique character to our grapes, resulting in wines with deep color, rich tannins, and a hint of briny sea air.
Meticulous Winemaking Process
Our commitment to quality extends to every step of the winemaking process. From the careful selection of grape varieties to the meticulous harvesting by hand, we leave no stone unturned in ensuring that each bottle of wine bearing our name is a masterpiece.
Handpicked Grapes
The heart of any great wine is the grape itself. We believe in the magic of handpicked grapes, as this labor-intensive process allows us to select only the finest fruit at its peak ripeness, ensuring a depth of flavor that’s unmatched.
Small-Batch Fermentation
We practice small-batch fermentation, allowing us to closely monitor and control the winemaking process. This attention to detail ensures that each batch maintains the integrity of the grape and terroir.
Patient Aging
Our wines are aged patiently in oak barrels, stone cellars, and underground caves. This extended aging process imparts complexity, depth, and character to our wines, making them truly exceptional.
