Chardonnay grapes are used for many of these sparkling varieties alongside Pinot Noir, which is also used to make light-bodied reds. Nyetimber and Chapel Down are two wineries that have proven to be resoundingly popular among wine critics and amateur enthusiasts alike, famous for the distinctly British characteristics of their wines.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/07\/08-Wendy-Gareth-Llanerch-2044-77-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"British Vineyards \" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/08-Wendy-Gareth-Llanerch-2044-77-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/08-Wendy-Gareth-Llanerch-2044-77-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/08-Wendy-Gareth-Llanerch-2044-77-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/08-Wendy-Gareth-Llanerch-2044-77-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/08-Wendy-Gareth-Llanerch-2044-77-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/08-Wendy-Gareth-Llanerch-2044-77.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Over the border in Wales, some of the local British vineyards are opening their cellar doors for visitors to see behind the scenes, while sampling some of the wines produced onsite.
