The Best English White Wines

While England has become best known for its world-class sparkling wines, there is now a huge range of delicious English white wines being made too, and these are also starting to pick up awards internationally for quality and value.

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.

Aromatic English White Wines

Since England is a cool-climate wine region, the majority of English white wines tend to be fresh, crisp and aromatic in style. Zingy, aromatic English white wines like Bacchus and Pinot Gris tend to go brilliantly with English vegetables like asparagus and English-grown herbs like tarragon, parsley and chives.

The Bacchus grape has become a signature grape for those looking to buy English white wine, with vibrant, zingy fruit that reminds many people of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

You’ll find recommendations for aromatic English white wines available to buy on Marasby Market below.

English Chardonnay

Producers in the eastern regions of Kent, Essex and Suffolk are now successfully ripening Chardonnay, and making English white wines in the style of white Burgundy, with rounded fruit and subtle oak-aged character. Lighter English Chardonnays can be similar in style to Chablis, and these partner brilliantly with oysters and white fish, while you can partner richer Chardonnays with British cheeses. One of our to-die-for pairings is English Chardonnay with Baron Bigod, an English brie-style soft cheese.

If you’re looking to buy English white wine made from the Chardonnay grape, we’ve recommended some of the best below.

Unusual English White Wines

If you want to buy an unusual English white wine, there are some brilliant blancs de noirs – white wines made from black grapes like Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

In warmer climates, these wines can be too fruity and lack refreshing acidity. With English white wine’s naturally brisk acidity, here these English white wines made from black grapes work brilliantly and have become something of a USP. If you want to buy English white wine with a difference, we have a superb range recommended below.
