Wine ListOur wine list changes with the seasons in addition to the availability of fruit and other locally sourced ingredients, and despite the current spell of wet and coolish summers we have been experiencing, the fruit garden is producing consistent yields from most of our cultivars. The individual friuts make wines with different tastes, characters and bouquets to suit most occasions, and may be sipped and savoured on their own or drunk as fine table wines forming good accompaniments with meat, fish, pasta and salad dishes; serving instructions and "best with" recommendations are included with each wine description shown below in the current wine list. For pricing information go to the end of the wine list. Note new wines addeded to the winter wine list: - apple wine, elderberry & bramble wine, parsnip wine and sparkling apple wine.
