WorthenburyWines...
The wine is made at the Three Choirs Vineyard in Newent, Gloucs by the award winning winemaker Martin Fowke.. Each October a group of willing volunteers gathers to help us pick the crop. They have become quite expert over the years and they are invaluable:- we suspect that the alcoholic supper afterwards is the main attraction.
The grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible to ensure freshness. We discuss with the winery the wines they will produce.  Since 2004 all the Chardonnay and some of the Pinot Noir has gone to produce sparkling wine (available later this year). The white wine is Sauvignon Blanc and the red Pinot Noir. We have frequent discussions with the winemaker as to how the wine is progressing and collect the finished product in May/June the following year.
