VINEYARD
"We are a 40 acre vineyard located in the heart of Shropshire."
VINES
We are a 40 acre vineyard in Shropshire. We planted our first field of vines in 2021 totalling 8000 Pinot Noir and 4000 Bacchus vines. This combination allows us to create, red, rose and white still and sparkling wines.
​
Early 2023 we planted another 28 acres of vines, choosing to expand on our Bacchus and Pinot Noir varieties and adding Meunier, Cabernet Noir and Chardonnay.
​
Our vines are planted east to west on glorious sunny slopes in the village of Waters Upton on our farm. We have used metal trellising to guide and hold up our vines as they grow and produce large bunches of delicious grapes.

TERROIR
Our Terroir is a sandstone, stoney soil which makes an excellent growing environment for our vines. The stones help hold the heat, to give a warm soil for the vines to grow in and reflect the sun light onto the vines on sunny days.
The vines thrive in sandstone ground due to the minerality of such a natural sedimentary rock, which encourages deep root growth into the ground for nutrients and naturally filtered water.
"Our wine is made and always will be exclusively with the grapes from our vineyard."
CLIMATE
We are bordered by the River Tern enabling us to irrigate in extremely dry, hot seasons. The river reflects sunlight up onto the vines and the breeze keeps the risk of disease low to the vines decreasing humidity with air flow.
​
The vineyard being situated in Shropshire, so further north than some, still flourishes and will produce exceptional wine with extra care and a careful eye out in amongst the vines.
