When it comes to choosing wine, we often reach for bottles from France, Italy or New Zealand without thinking twice. But a quiet revolution is happening much closer to home. Buckinghamshire wine is gaining serious ground, with local vineyards in the Chilterns producing high-quality, characterful wines that deserve a place on any dining table.
At Marlow Valley Vineyard, we’re proud to be part of this local winemaking movement — crafting elegant English white wine from the scenic hills just outside Marlow. Here’s why now is the perfect time to support local and make space on your table for Marlow wine.
World-Class Wine, Made in Buckinghamshire
Thanks to a combination of climate, soil and innovation, English wine producers are now crafting award-winning bottles — and Buckinghamshire vineyards are among those leading the way. The region’s chalk-rich soils and gentle slopes are ideal for growing grapes like Bacchus, which forms the foundation of many of the finest English white wines.
At Marlow Valley, we focus on this aromatic variety to produce our signature Bacchus white wine. Crisp, floral and citrus-driven, it’s a local take on a globally appreciated style — and it recently earned us a Gold Medal at the WineGB Awards 2025.
Flavour with a Sense of Place
Unlike many supermarket wines that are produced in huge volumes and shipped across continents, our wine is rooted in a single site. Every bottle of Bacchus English wine from Marlow Valley reflects the growing season, the soil, and the hands that crafted it.
This connection to place is what makes Buckinghamshire wine so special. You’re not just drinking something local — you’re experiencing a unique flavour that couldn’t be replicated anywhere else.
Local Wine Supports Local Communities
Buying wine from a Buckinghamshire vineyard like ours directly supports local jobs, rural economies and small businesses. It helps maintain agricultural land, encourages sustainable practices, and strengthens community connections.
When you choose Marlow wine, you’re contributing to something bigger than the bottle. You’re supporting a boutique English vineyard that values quality, sustainability, and people over profit.
Sustainability from Soil to Glass
Local wine isn’t just better for the community — it’s better for the planet. By choosing wines that are produced, bottled and shipped within the UK, you reduce the carbon footprint of your purchase. No air miles. No excessive packaging. Just great wine, made nearby.
At Marlow Valley Vineyard, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. From low-intervention farming to careful resource use, we aim to produce the best wine possible with the least impact on the environment.
A Growing Appetite for English Wine
Consumer interest in English white wine, English rosé wine, and English sparkling wine is on the rise. More people are turning to local producers for authenticity, quality, and freshness. And with wine critics increasingly recognising the excellence of award-winning English wine, now is the perfect time to explore what’s growing on your doorstep.
Our Bacchus white wine is a perfect entry point — bright, food-friendly, and deeply rooted in Buckinghamshire soil.
