All Angels is a family-run vineyard located in Enborne, West Berkshire, planted in 2011 on free-draining sandy loam over gravel, flint and green sand soils on south-facing gentle slopes.

Inspired by the historic setting near the 12th-century Enborne Parish Church—after which the vineyard is named—the estate embodies a philosophy of exclusivity, sustainability and community.

All sparkling wines are single-vintage, crafted solely from estate-grown grapes (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc) and aged in-bottle using the traditional method to lend depth, fine mousse and complexity. The flagship Classic Cuvée—a blend dominated by Chardonnay—balances dry citrus freshness with fine textured bubbles and has received prestigious accolades such as a 96‑point Gold at IWSC 2025

Committed to biodiversity, the team manages vineyards by hand, nurtures wildflower meadows, and promotes regenerative farming across the 6-hectare site. All Angels has become a benchmark for elegant, terroir‑driven English sparkling wine.

England’s wine regions are concentrated in the southern half of the country, where the climate and soils are most suited to viticulture. The industry has expanded rapidly in recent years, thanks to a warming climate, improved vineyard practices, and growing recognition for quality, particularly in sparkling wine.

Key climatic influences include a cool maritime climate with increasing average temperatures and longer growing seasons, which have significantly improved grape ripening. However, spring frosts, rain during flowering, and high humidity pose ongoing challenges. The best vineyards are typically south-facing, sheltered, and on well-drained soils such as chalk, greensand, and clay.

The most prominent regions include Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Hampshire, and Essex. Sussex is the first region in England to gain PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status and is home to many of the country’s leading producers. Kent and Hampshire also host significant plantings, while East Anglia, particularly Essex, is emerging as a hotspot for still wines due to its drier climate.

The main grapes planted are those used in traditional method sparkling wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Bacchus is the leading still white variety, valued for its aromatic, fresh style. Others include Ortega, Pinot Gris, and increasingly, early-ripening red varieties like Pinot Noir and Meunier.

Rondo is a red grape variety widely grown in cool-climate regions, particularly in northern and central Europe, and has found a niche in the English wine industry. It is a hybrid grape, originally developed in Czechoslovakia, known for its early ripening and good resistance to common vine diseases, making it well-suited to the challenging conditions of the UK.

In England and Wales, Rondo is often planted in regions less ideal for traditional Vitis vinifera reds, such as East Anglia, the West Country, and parts of Wales, where it performs reliably even in cooler, shorter growing seasons. Its resilience to fungal diseases, including downy and powdery mildew, makes it attractive for low-intervention or organic viticulture.

Rondo produces deeply coloured wines with a rich, ruby hue. The aroma profile often includes dark berries such as blackberry and black cherry, along with earthy, smoky or spicy notes. While it can be quite full-bodied for a cool-climate red, careful winemaking is needed to manage its naturally high acidity and avoid overly herbal or green characteristics.

Though not always suited for premium single-varietal wines, Rondo is frequently used in blends or for rosé and still red wines, offering structure, colour and reliability in marginal climates.

Pinot Gris is a white grape variety originating from France, where it is most famously grown in Alsace. It is a mutation of Pinot Noir and is also known internationally as Pinot Grigio in Italy, where it is typically made in a lighter, crisper style. Despite its name, the grape has a pinkish-grey skin, which can give wines a slightly golden hue.

Pinot Gris is now grown in many cool to moderate climate regions across the world, including New Zealand, Germany (as Grauburgunder), Oregon, Australia, and increasingly in the UK. The style varies widely depending on the region and winemaking approach - from dry and zesty to rich, off-dry or even late-harvest expressions.

Aromatically, Pinot Gris tends to show notes of pear, apple, peach, and citrus, with hints of honeysuckle, spice, and sometimes a touch of smoke or nuttiness. In Alsace, it can produce full-bodied wines with texture and ageing potential, while Italian Pinot Grigio is typically light and fresh.

Viticulturally, Pinot Gris is an early-ripening variety, but it can be sensitive to disease and rot due to its thin skins and compact bunches. It requires careful canopy management and monitoring to maintain acidity and avoid over-ripeness, particularly in warmer climates.
