Home-grown wines to beat Brexit price-hikes
 
As reports suggest that the cost of imported wines may increase by more than 20 per cent following the vote for the UK to leave the EU*, wine lovers should consider shopping closer to home for English wines instead.
 


Many high-quality, and award-winning, wines are grown, made and bottled in England. From a ‘Brexit’ Brut Prestige to a patriotic Pinot Gris, Stopham Vineyard offers a selection of still and sparkling wines brewed with precision and passion in West Sussex.
 
 Stopham Estate Brut Prestige (£27.00)
 
Au Revoir Champagne. Hello “Brexit Brut”! This English sparkling wine from Stopham Vineyard is a perfect home-grown alternative.  Sussex offers similar growing conditions to the Champagne region of France, resulting in this fantastic English fizz with a lovely taste of honeyed brioche, grapefruit and citrus. 

 Stopham Estate Pinot Blanc (£14.95)
 
Sparkling English wines have been growing in popularity, but many are unaware that top quality still wines are also produced in England.  With a quintessentially English nose of pear and primrose, and flavours of pink grapefruit, melon and sweet fennel, this fresh Pinot Blanc is a perfect Sancerre substitute.

 Stopham Estate Rosé (£14.95)
 
With typically smaller vineyard yields, English wines offer quality over quantity. This off-dry Rosé is no exception. A delicious domestic wine with crunchy red fruit flavours and berry aromas it is on par with its continental counterparts. Pick up a bottle now as this Summer stunner is sure to be a sell-out. 

All wines available to purchase from www.stophamvineyard.co.uk.
