From UK vineyards to your door! English wines are growing in popularity and there are now more than 450 wineries and around 3.15m bottles of wine produced every year. We introduce you to five wines from vineyards that sell direct to you!

HAMPSHIRE

All of the grapes are handpicked from the estate on the Southeast facing chalk slopes of Windmill Down, in the historic village of Hambledon to create an incredibly complex and enjoyable wine. This fruity wine has a mineral chalky quality with confit lemon, orange blossom and white lily nestling amongst ripe apricot, white peach and baked red apple.

WALES

Another exceptional wine – this Pinot Noir is ahead of its time and beautifully perfumed with violets, fresh cherries and has rich sweet tannin’s that excites the palate. Combined with seductive silky complexity and dark fruit flavour, it makes this a great signature wine with only 750 bottles of the 2018 Vintage made!

CORNWALL

A crisp, clean and fresh wine that’s made from a blend of grapes fermented at low temperature to retain its delicacy with lush apricot and green fruit aromas. This aromatic wine is the perfect accompaniment to light fish dishes, and is a favourite in many Cornish restaurants and the Prime Minister serves it at no.10 Downing Street! 28. beautifullybritishmag.co.uk

SCOTLAND

Rich and fruity, dark and delicious! This Elderberry wine is made from berries picked from the wild elderberry bushes that decorate the countryside around Perthshire, and some that the vineyard grows itself. Best served at room temperature.
