England

England has emerged as a serious contender in the world of sparkling wine, and Kent is leading the charge. Nestled in the southeast, Kent benefits from a cool climate and chalky soils similar to those in Champagne, making it ideal for growing classic varieties like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The result? Crisp, elegant sparkling wines with fine bubbles, bright acidity, and notes of citrus, green apple, and brioche. English winemakers have embraced traditional methods, and Kent’s producers are consistently winning international awards. With its rolling vineyards, innovative wineries, and growing reputation, Kent is putting English fizz firmly on the global wine map.
