Glyndwr Vineyard Description
Glyndwr Vineyard is the oldest established and largest vineyard in Wales. Planted by the current owners in 1982, the estate comprises over 6, 000 vines, grown on gently south-east facing slopes in the heart of the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan.
The bottle label depicts the Welsh prince, Owain Glyndwr, riding into battle with Carreg Cennen Castle in the background. The wines are evocative of that bold and romantic period of Welsh history.
With the experience of 30 years playing an important role in the current success and reputation of the vineyard, the owners have built up an extensive network of outlets throughout Wales, for example Waitrose, the Celtic Manor Resort, Glen-yr-Afon Hotel, and numerous family run delis from St DavidŌĆÖs in Pembrokeshire to WallyŌĆÖs in Cardiff. The vineyard produces two white wines, a ros├®, a red and two vintage sparkling wines. The wines have graced many a fine occasion including European State banquets, the restaurant in the House of Lords, the Ryder Cup and the 2014 Nato Summit.
Glyndwr Vineyard is particularly proud of its environmentally friendly surroundings, where chickens, ducks and wild pheasants roam, hedges are left to grow wild to encourage bird life and the vines are treated with organic material.
The vines are mostly grown on the traditional double Guyot system with some experimentation with Geneva Double Curtain. Vine varieties include Rondo, Regent, Madeline Angevine, Triomphe dŌĆÖalsace and Seyval Blanc.
The adjoining lovely gardens have been open to the National Garden Scheme and there are ponds, woodland areas and orchards containing a number of old British apple trees which make GlyndwrŌĆÖs own unique and delicious cider. Amongst the gardens is situated the pretty accommodation.
Underneath the farmhouse is the cellar, where the wines are stored and quietly mature. The wines can be purchased direct from the cellars. Please be sure to phone for an appointment prior to arrival if you wish to buy wines.
