Thanks to everybody who have helped or provided encouragment in what has been a difficult agricultural year!  In the end we were very pleased with the quality and a reasonble quantity of grapes from 2012 - look forward to tasting the vintage next year for the first time from our own winery!

Also our sparkling wines are drinking very well! - according to Suzy Atkins (Telegraph wine correspondent).

PEBBLEBEDS NEW WINERY - NATURAL WINE PRODUCTION!

We feel extremely lucky to have been able to acquire Marianne Pool Farm adjacent to our Clyst St George Vineyard. Wine tanks now stand in the old diary and the 2012 wines are maturing well.  - more information

 

International Vineyard "twinning" project

We are progressing an idea to have an informal connection with a traditional vineyard in each of the wine growing areas of the world - This has come out of having had visits and wine tastings from a number of tradtional wine makers from around the world over the last few years in our Topsham Cellar - the idea being our "friends of Pebblebed/club Vino" members will get a warm welcome when visiting abroad and vice versa!  Perhaps exchanging wines and having tastings of wines with a "story"!

We hope to explore this further over the next few months.
