The founder of the winery became interested in fruit wine making from an early age.
His fascination with the variety of colours and flavours produced from fruit and other produce
prompted him to follow in his grandparent’s footsteps.

Picking sloes (wild plums) from the hedgerows he made his first wine as a gift to his
delighted parents as an accompaniment to their Christmas Dinner. The rest is history!

Making Fruit Wine Although in making wines from fruit other than grapes, the method is similar, but there is more hand processing and preparation. Whole fruit is used rather than using juice. Acid content is balanced and the must is fermented to dryness. which takes longer than grape wines to reach maturity. The finished wine is then sweetened as required.
