We’ve wrapped up our 2025 harvest at The Dell Vineyard, and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s gone. This year has been our biggest and most successful harvest yet, with 14 tonnes of grapes picked, a huge jump on the challenging, rain-soaked 2024 season. Thanks to a warm, dry spring and summer, the fruit…
Yesterday we waved goodbye to this pioneering bit of tech. It’s a DNA spore sampler with a built in weather station and has been running in the vineyard for the last six months. It sucks in air throughout the day and at the end of each day the onboard robotics run a cycle to check…
On Monday we had the pleasure of attending the @winegb trade and press tasting in central London. We were among 80 vineyards from the UK showcasing our wines to the who’s who of the wine world! Thank you to everyone that attended, even the tube strikes didn’t deter you! We had an amazing time, and…

What an awesome day on Sunday harvesting our 2022 vintage. Thanks to everyone for all their help getting in our bumper crop! Three tonnes of quality Welsh grapes are now off to the winery to make a still white and rosé for release in spring 2023..
For the last few weeks we’ve been tackling the pruning of the vines. This is the most important task in the calendar to ensure a fruitful year ahead. Due to the site only partially getting pruned last year, it has been tricky to cut back the old wood to select a suitable cane or two…
