We are a small, family run vineyard based between the beautiful Usk and Wye Valleys in Raglan, Monmouthshire. The Dell has been farmed by the Alford family for five generations and this is our diversification project. We now have a total of just under 10,000 vines across 6 acres of land.
In May 2022 we planted our main vineyard on the farm, with Pinot Noir and Solaris vines which produced their first grapes in the Autumn of 2024. We have since planted Souvignier Gris, Caberet Noir and Pinot Meunière vines in spring 2024.
We also lease an acre of established vines nearby which is located close to the hamlet of Pen-Y-Clawdd. They were planted 22 years ago with several varieties planted including, Pinot Noir, Seyval Blanc and Phoenix.
