“A dream became a reality.”
A family
owned Vineyard
Robb and Nicola’s journey into viticulture began in 1993 when they purchased a 12-acre smallholding and transformed the old milking parlour into their cherished home. Nestled in the idyllic countryside, this setting became the perfect place for Nicola’s dream of owning a vineyard to blossom.
By 2008, Nicola’s aspirations started taking shape when they acquired a south-facing field. Filled with excitement, they performed soil tests, ordered vines, and began planting. In May 2009, the first 4,000 vines were planted, marking the birth of White Castle Vineyard.
Ten years later, in May 2019, to celebrate a decade since the first planting, they expanded the vineyard by planting an additional 2,000 vines. Among these were Cabernet Franc, the first of its kind in Wales. Today, White Castle Vineyard boasts 13,500 vines.
In 2024, the estate reached another milestone with the construction of Y Gwindy, their very own winery, further solidifying their legacy in Welsh winemaking.
