English Still Wines

English wines? If you have driven around the countryside in England you may have come across one or two. There are more than 300. I remember my amazement at the number when I saw a map in a wine shop in Brighton. 

Denbies has a huge visitor centre with a supermarket style wine and gifts area and indoor and outdoor tours. I have eaten in their restaurant.

 Nyetimber, meaning new timber, has occasional open days to big buyers, and occasionally others. Its beautiful setting made me think, perfect for a wedding. 

The many others are vying for your attention. I went to a tasting where, thanks to the promoters, I had a chance to try several and compare them.

As you see from this picture, England produces a range of colours and styles of wine.  

 My favourites were

My favourites were from Knightor Winery, 

Aromatic and tasty. 

One on the list of seven wines which I tasted as a paying guest at an event organized by AWE, the Association of Wine Educators, of which my husband is a member.

Number 3 on the list of wines I tasted was my second favourite tasted. From B58.
