DENBIES WINE ESTATE - A FIRST FOR ENGLISH WINE

Denbies Wine Estate, England’s largest vineyard located in Dorking in the heart of the Surrey Hills, is delighted to announce the release of English White 2011, which has been produced exclusively for the Tesco Finest* range. 

This is the first time that Tesco have selected an English wine to be included in their Finest* wine range, which comprises over 100 products to choose from.

Denbies was invited to produce this wine for the 2011 range and worked alongside Tesco to create an exclusive still white wine.  The wine was produced from grapes grown on the estate, a blend of Ortega, Reichensteiner and the more familiar Chardonnay.  The result is a dry, punchy, refreshing white which goes well with dressed crab, lobster, light chicken dishes or simply cooked fish, such as sea bass or sole.

“Being selected by one of the world’s largest retailers to join their Finest* range represents a significant milestone for Denbies and English wines in general”, commented Christopher White, General Manager of Denbies Wine Estate.

Established in 1986, Denbies Wine Estate is family owned and run. It currently has 265 acres under vine and is England’s largest vineyard.  Denbies produces a range of internationally award-winning still white, red, rose and sparkling wines.  The Visitor Centre is open to the public daily with both indoor and outdoor wine tours.
