We are now in our fifth year of production of wine from our vineyard. To date the highest number of bottles that we have produced is 1,850 in 2006. All the wines that we have produced thus far have been still white however with part of our 2007 harvest we are having a sparkling wine made. Exciting as this is, patience is need as it will probably be 2010 at the earliest before it is ready for release.
The current vintage that is on sale is our 2006 and it can be obtained through the following outlets;

Our wines normally sell from between £5.75 and £10.99 per bottle depending on quantities that we have been able to produce.
Our wines are usually entered into the Regional Wine Scheme run by the UK Vineyards Association. Under this scheme wines are assessed against various parameters such as colour, clarity nose and taste. Success in the scheme means that we can label the wine as Oxfordshire Regional Wine.
