Follow the journey of our 5 acre Shropshire vineyard, with a focus on sustainable & delicious wine!

We are a family run business, lead by twin sisters Zoe & Melissa Evans. We aim to create a range of delicious still and sparkling wines from our 3 different grape varieties. We are passionate about creating a sustainable business and we are mindful of our environmental credentials. As such we have chosen to use biodegradable cardboard grow guards for our vines instead of plastic ones.

Next up… introducing our Red Pinot Noir Précoce 🍷

Officially a trophy-winning red (cheers W**esGB Midlands & North ), it’s lightly oaked, packed full of hedgerow fruits and very moreish! 🙌

This w**e is a blend of the 2024 and 2025 vintages, with 36% aged in an oak barrel for 9 months giving it a lovely vanilla edge 👌

With just a week to go until our Big Christmas Tasting we’re excited for and Sarah Appleby to be joining us this year 🤗 The perfect accompaniment as you wander around and sample the w**es! 😁

Everything will be available to purchase on the night too, your chance to stock up on some delicious meats and cheese 😉😋

Introducing Pink Fizz, 2023 💓

When we set out planning our vineyard adventure before planting in 2020, we always envisaged producing a still Solaris white w**e, and a Sparkling Pink aka our Pink Fizz! The first Pink Fizz we sold, was made from grapes that we’d bought in in the beautiful summer of 2018 🥂

We are now delighted to introduce to you our very first vintage of Pink Fizz, made entirely from Rowton grapes. The summer of 2023, it was our second harvest off our young vineyard, and off the back of a very sunny 2022, the vines cropped extraordinarily well! 🙌

This w**e is a blend of all three of our variteties; 90% Pinot Noir Précoce; 7% Seyval Blanc; and 3% Solaris. 🤩

Harvested at the end of September 2023, the grapes were whole bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The base w**e was blended in the Spring of 2024, and bottled shortly after. It has spent just over 18 months on lees and just over 6 months on cork.

The result is a delicate and joyfully easy-drinking sparkling w**e. Think Strawberries and Cream on the palate, with a refreshing crunchy red apple bite on the finish. 🍎

We’ve moved into serving this w**e in Amber bottles, rather than clear ones, due to light strike reasons. But trust us, that same beautiful and vibrant pink colour is ready to greet you when you pop the cork! 🤗😁

Introducing Late Harvest Solaris, 2025 🥁 ✨

The summer of ‘25 was glorious; endless sunshine days and a baking hot August. The fruit ripened quickly, and we first picked the Solaris grape on the 30th August for a Sparkling w**e followed by the still Solaris which came off in the first week of September ✂️

And then… some patience was needed whilst we left almost 3 tons of Solaris fruit on the vine, quietly gathering sugar and expressing some wonderful fruit characters in green apple and tropical notes. Each bunch carefully tended to throughout the year to ensure it had enough air and light around it to ripen to its full potential. 🙌🤩

Throw in a few misty Autumn days, and we had the beginnings of some noble rot, contributing to the honeyed characters of this special dessert w**e. 😋

Finally, harvested on the 21st October 2025, the grapes were whole bunch pressed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks – which has helped retain the freshness of this unique w**e!
Bottled into elegant half bottles, and hand dipped in wax, this w**e makes a perfect gift for the w**e lover in your life, or entirely for yourself – we won’t judge! 😉😍

Available at our Big Christmas Tasting on the 12th November, Christmas Drinks event on the 20th November and at various markets and events over the next few months 🎄

We’ve popped a little post-harvest feed on the vines this week to give them some nutrition 🍂

This will help to build essential nutrient and carbohydrate reserves in the wood and roots before the leaves fall, ensuring a strong bud burst and healthy shoot growth next spring 💪🌱
