The English wine industry has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past few decades, evolving from a niche market into a globally recognised force. While the origins of winemaking in England can be traced back to Roman times, it’s the modern era that has seen the industry flourish. The unique climate and terroir of regions like Sussex have proven ideal for growing grapes that yield wines with distinct character and complexity.

The industry’s multiple awards have put English wines on par with renowned European labels. Balancing sustainability with innovation, English vintners both honour age-old practices and pioneer new techniques. This yields an exceptional array of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines that embody the English terrain.

English wine is distinct for its crisp acidity and aromatic profile, often compared favourably to wines from cooler climate regions. The unique soil conditions and climate of our Sussex Estate, for example, contribute to the nuanced flavours in each bottle. At Bolney Wine Estate, we focus on six key premium varietals: Pinot Noir, Rondo, Dornfelder, Chardonnay, Bacchus, and Pinot Gris, each offering a different facet of English wine’s versatility.

If you’re yet to explore English wine, Bolney Wine Estate is the perfect introduction. Our premium red, white, rosé and sparkling wines have won us numerous accolades, including UK Producer of the Year in 2012.

What makes our English wines exceptional is the meticulous process. It begins by testing grapes in the vineyard for the ideal sugar-acidity balance. Once harvested, the grapes are gently pressed and then inoculated with select yeasts to start fermentation, unlocking the wine’s unique character. Our winemakers blend harmoniously, showcasing the vineyard’s essence. The wines undergo delicate filtration for clarity without compromising aroma or flavour.

Our commitment to quality is evident through innovations like our state-of-the-art, sustainably-focused winery. With a focus on innovation, Bolney is a testament to the potential for English wine. So if you’re sceptical, our wines are sure to change your mind.
