* New - Limited Edition Chardonnay*

2023 was an amazing growing year. As harvest approached, we realised we had a great crop of Chardonnay on our hands and that the weather meant we could leave it hanging. And so we made the decision to make a limited release 100% still Chardonnay.

On 18th October, we hand-picked the best grapes from the sunniest rows of our Chardonnay (Clone 95). The grapes were gently whole-bunch pressed before being moved into a single 1200l steel tank, where fermentation and malolatic fermentation occurred.

After 4 months of lees ageing, the wine was moved into 4x used French barrels for a further 6 months before bottling under gravity.

There are just 1500 bottles of this wine, and you'll know which one you're drinking as we've printed it on the label.

This pale-gold wine is balanced and lively, with citrus and vanilla on the nose and apple, white peach and lemon peel across the palate.

Available to order now on our website. Click the biosite link in our profile. 😊

As the countdown to our Christmas Market begins, we wanted to celebrate some of the amazing creators and curators that will be popping up in the tasting barn on Sunday 8th Dec from 11am.

Firstly, we would like to proudly introduce - simply stunning bags, satchels and purses made by local leatherworkers in Exeter. These are pieces for a life - top quality and made with love.

Please pop along and visit Jess on her stand.

This Christmas, enjoy a glass of our two-time gold award-winning Classic Cuvée. Made from the best grapes hand-picked in 2018 - widely considered to be one of the finest vintages in English wine - this is a superb example of English Sparkling Wine.

Our lovely Christmas market returns on Sunday, 8th December. Come along and browse the gorgeous stalls of some very talented local makers and creators. From art and plants to vintage goodies and handmade leather goods, the barn will be awash with wonderful gift ideas.

And that's a wrap. Harvest 2024 completed yesterday in the Chardonnay. It's been a bit bonkers, to be honest, an ever-shifting sea of decision-making. Hats off to Ben, who has put an absolute shift in across the year to nurture the vines. And to Molly and Tim for the 1000s of hours of graft. Let the wine making commence. 💫

Our volunteer harvest is tomorrow and it's the big one (chardonnay). If you have a few hours to spare, come along to the vineyard and join us. Harvest lunch provided (and wine, of course).

We'll start at 8.30 and go all day, but volunteers can dip in (and out!) at any time.

No experience needed.
We have secateurs.
Sturdy footwear a must.
A stalwart approach to really bad jokes from our vineyard manager, Tim, recommended.

If you'd like to come along, please send us a message on here and we'll be in touch. 😊

If there's anything positive to be said about the biblical rain over the last few days, it's that it makes the spiderwebs twinky and pretty. But that's it, in all other respects, we are completely over the rain.

Great night awards celebrating a gold for our Classic Cuvee 2018 🌟. So lovely to see so many great businesses doing fab things - our list of things to eat/drink and places to visit is now enormous!

And well done to our fellow table-dwellers who smashed it out of the park: .hampers .

The three year project to create a self-guided tour fact sheet rumbles on with pretty but ineffectual map imagery entering the fray today. Creative clarting about has now given way to dropping the electric fence that's supposed to be protecting the Seigrebbe from the badgers (jury is out), and inching forward with the new Chardonnay label while moving bottles of said wine from one store to another. I reckon we'll start picking this week, and so the fact sheet will slide effortlessly into 2025 jobs. Oh well.

It's lateral shoot season - that time of year when the vines decide to grow sideways. This Pinot Meunier has been shoot selected, tucked in, and trimmed already this season, but, as you can see from the first pic, was getting a bit hairy. Order is now restored. Spare a thought for the many vineyard teams who are working their socks off to maintain the healthy structure of the rows - there'd be no wine if they didn't. 🥂

Wedding season is in full swing, and we've been honoured to provide the bubbles for a number of gorgeous celebrations this year. If you're planning your big day and you'd like to raise a glass ofsuperb English fizz with friends and family, please get in touch.

It was clear that Star would not be getting a job behind the bar, but we loved her for trying.

This Saturday (6th) we've got the amazing Flour&Flame popping up at our Teign Valley vineyard for a pizza feast. Great food, beautiful countryside setting. It's also England v Switzerland which we all need to see so, rest assured, it will be on.

This is our second to last pop up of the year, and it looks like the weather is playing ball, so it's shaping up to be a fantastic Saturday night.

If you'd like to join us for footy and fizz (and beers etc) paired with some of the best pizza EVER - please see the menu in pic and order your food by texting (or calling) 07586534692 leaving your name and preferred collection time (food from 5 till 8ish) and we'll see you on Saturday.

Don't wait to order as they sold out before they started last year (!) and it's likely to go the same way this year.

Vegan option available. V cheese carried on board - load your pizza with anything from the menu that works.

See you Saturday 🥂 🍕

Oof, it's a bit glorious today. Thank you to everyone who came along last night. We're tidied up, spruced up, and looking forward to a private event this afternoon.

Need a party venue? Get in touch.

Swanaford Summer Social #1 is just a few hours away, and things are looking great.

Food Update - Simon is now about to set up, so he can't take any more pre-bookings. However, he's made extra of each curry, so if you want to come along, he'll do everything he can to get you served.

The forecast is ever-shifting, but it looks pretty good, and we've set the barn up for indoor dining in any event.

See you later!

Planning a hen party? We will happily run a private tour and tasting experience for groups looking for a fun activity in glorious coubtryside. Have the vineyard to yourself and enjoy some English bubbles in the sun with your friends.

December 1st 2023: snow rips our stretch tent (which would normally have been packed away post-harvest but was left up as A) we never have snow and B) we wanted to use it on our Christmas shopping day.)

May 9th 2024: she's back up and beautifully fixed by the amazing team and we are just 2 weeks away from our first pop-up food feast.

Hurrah
