Set on the edge of the Brendon Hills, Wellhayes Vineyard occupies an ideal location on a South facing slope overlooking the small village of Clayhanger in mid-Devon. The red Devonian soil is deep and well-drained, which suits the vines, whose roots go straight down. The vineyard is now established with work focused on improving the structure of the vines and increasing their annual yield. The first full harvest was in 2014 which produced 3.5 tonnes of grapes, from which we have made 2,000 bottles of Sparkling Wine, which were launched in September 2016.
