We expect to release our 2011 still wines in June and our 2010 sparkling over the summer. The 2011 vintage was small but of fantastic quality our pinot noir was the equivalent of 13.5% natural alcohol!! Really looking forward to tasting the wines!
Also our new 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 we hope to have the winery ready for the 2012 harvest. - 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.
Introduction to Pebblebed
Pebblebed Vineyards are located near Topsham, Exeter in Devon in South West England. Our producing vineyards are managed in an environmentally sensitive way and our wines regularly win awards in national and regional competitions. We have a tasting cellar near the quay in Topsham which welcomes people to try Pebblebed wines and a range of Devon and imported wines and local tapas. From the start we have very much enjoyed sharing our passion for growing grapes and making wine in Devon and we hope the information on the following pages is of interest.
