A visit to Denbies English Sparkling Wine
A visit to Denbies English Sparkling Wine by Christopher Walkey of Glass of Bubbly. I was pleased to be taken on a tour of the winery by Christopher White, general manager of Denbies, where we viewed by car some of the 100 plus hectares of vines where they are growing 15 different grape varieties. I never expected Denbies to be such a big operation I must admit, my only ever previous direct encounters with them was always at wine tasting events where I assumed they were just one of the smaller growers. Denbies is more or a less an entire village sat in the middle of plush green fields full of vines and forests where you can not only visit to tour the vineyards via the 7 miles of footpaths over its near 250 hectare estate and then taste the wines, you can also eat, exhibit, have a wedding, stay over night and more.
