The site was selected for its potential to ripen grapes early, although, unfortunately, Denbies was badly hit by spring frosts in 1997. Twenty different varieties have produced, so far, a range of wines from the adequate to the exciting. The sparkling wines are very good, particularly the Millennium Brut based on the classic Champagne grape varieties. The whites show an attractive perfume - there are even some remarkably good botrytized whites .
Most whites can improve for two or three years.
