The Best English Red Wines

While England has become best known for its world-class sparkling wines, there are now some really great English red wines being made too. There’s a lot of buzz around English Pinot Noir. Marasby’s co founder Simon Huntington’s blog on why everyone’s talking about English Pinot Noir is a great summary.

Marasby has 40 of England’s best winemakers listing their white wines on Marasby Market, and all these are available to buy direct at vineyard gate prices.

Other English and Welsh Red Wines

A handful of producers, especially in Wales are starting to make really interesting red wine from different grapes. Rondo and Regent are on their way to becoming Wales’ signature red grape. The wines are juicy and quite full bodied, yet low in alcohol.

In England there are a few red wines being made from blends. Meophams Union Red is one of our favourites. A full-flavoured, velvety-smooth red, made from grape varieties ideal for the English climate. Deep in colour, with aromas of blackberries, cigar box and ground coffee.
