History |
||
| Glyndwr Vineyard is the oldest established and family run vineyard in Wales. | ||
| Planted by Richard and Susan Norris in 1982, the estate comprises some 6,000 vines grown on | ||
| gently south-east facing slopes in the heart of the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan. | ||
| The vines are grown on the traditional double Guyot system. | ||
| Richard and Susan are passionate about their wines and have won many awards. The vineyard is | ||
| producing two white wines, a rose, a red and two vintage sparkling wines. The wines have graced | ||
| many a fine table from European State banquets to the House of Lords! | ||
| Glyndwr Vineyard is proud of its environmentally friendly history, where chickens, ducks and wild | ||
| pheasants roam about, hedges are left to grow wild to encourage bird life and the vines are | ||
| treated with organic material. | ||
| The lovely gardens have been open to the National Garden Scheme, and there are ponds, | ||
| woodland areas and quite a number of old British apple trees. | ||
| Amongst the gardens is situated the stunningly pretty Bed and Breakfast, and underneath | ||
| the farmhouse is the cellar, where the wines quietly mature. | ||
