The Vineyard
The vineyard is located in Down Ampney close to Cirencester. It was planted in 2010 in a six acre, south-facing field. The 40 rows of vines are planted mainly with Ortega grapes with two rows each of Bacchus, Chardonnay and Seyval. The varieties are blended together to make our still dry white wine and our fizzy cans.
