The Great British Vineyards Guide

The first vines were planted at Bosue Vineyard in 1996 as a trial plot, followed by more extensive plantings in 1999, 2004 and 2005. We now have over 4000 vines and these are the modern varieties of Orion, Phoenix and Solaris for the white wine and Rondo and Regent for the red and rosé wine. These cool climate varieties are well suited to English wine production because they are high yielding and disease resistant. They produce a dry white wine, full of aroma and flavour and with a low acidity, a deeply coloured dry red wine and a fresh rosé.
