We became accidental owners of the vineyard in 2007 when we moved from one side of the village to the other. At the time we were not sure if the vines were going to be part of our long term plans but after a few visits from various vine experts we were told that with care and attention we would be able to cultivate good quality grapes and thus wine. After a very steep learning curve (which continues to this day) we had our first successful harvest in 2009.
The vineyard itself is spread over an acre with nearly 400 vines of which we have three varieties namely:
Pinot Noir
One of the oldest and most difficult vines to cultivate. It is famous for its use in the Burgundy region of France and in the traditional blend.
Auxerrios Blanc de Laquenexy
Full sibling of Chardonnay and popular in the wine growing region of Alsace.
Seyval Blanc
Cross of Siebel and Rayon d'Or which is suited to the UK climate.
We are proud of the fact that ever grape that goes into our wine is from our own vineyard in Seer Green and we do not blend our harvest with any other grapes. We decide after each harvest on the best wine to make but our decision is always based on what would we enjoy with the family and friends that help us keep the vineyard going.
