News and Events

It looked for a moment as though we might be harvesting in August! That would be unheard of! But this year, as we all know, has been very hot indeed. (See the very hot dog!) It is likely we will finish the harvest this month – also unheard of!

We planted 250 replacement vines this year; fortunately most of them seem to have survived. We watered them thoroughly during the first couple of heatwaves then shrouded them with our new tech – sheeps wool! It seems to solve almost all problems. Keeps the moisture in, the weeds down, the vines fed, the soil healthy – what more could a viticulturist want?

We are a VENUE  for Herefordshire Art Week this month. Number 37. We have TEN artists this year. So if you see a vivid pink sign saying H-ART over our way between 5th-13th September, pop in for a glass of wine and a mosey round the art. Tea, coffee and cakes also available.

AND very excitingly, we have started a collaboration with two other Herefordshire vineyards – ANCIENT ROOTS, FRESH VINTAGE – with White Heron over by Kington and 1276 near Ledbury: three vineyards in one day  in a minibus with a concierge to explain everything – meet three families running three vineyards!

AND we’ll be at the LUDLOW Food and Drink Show 11-13 September and the ABERGAVENNY Food and Drink Show 19-20 September as usual.
