Wythall Estate Vineyard

Wythall is a 16th century half-timbered manor house in a secluded and idyllic setting, with a garden, duck pond and wooded grounds. You will enjoy peace and quiet here and see an abundance of wildlife.

Three thousand five hundred vines were planted on 3.5 acres. The estate joined the growing English wine marketplace. They planted white Siegerrebe and Orion grapes; plus, red Rondo and Fruhburgunder, also known as early pinot.

Accommodation:

Two cottages, the Game Larders and the Old Bakehouse, are completely self-contained and are situated in the west wing of the house. They are well equipped and furnished in period style. Both cottages have use of the garden and there is ample parking space. Water is supplied from our own spring. There is oil-fired central heating throughout.

The cottages each have a flatscreen television, DVD player, telephone and Wi-Fi access. Linen and towels are provided. A cot and highchair is available. Pets are welcome.

PINOT NOIR	Wythall Estate's Pinot Noir has a beautiful rich garnet colour which fades to a pinkish tone at the rim of the glass. Black cherry and fresh raspberry fragrances delight the nose and appear again on the palate - with a touch of rich earthiness. There is good acidity, barely perceptible tannin which gives a very appealing mouth feel, all leading to a soft, velvety finish. By using the Pinot Noir mutated Fruhburgunder grape on the Estate the vines ripen two-to-three weeks earlier than the original Pinot Noir grape. This advantageous early ripening means that the fruits on the vine escape the effects of a colder British winter	£22.00 Per bottle
SPECIAL RESERVE	Our sparkling Special Reserve is a delicate pale gold in colour. On the nose you'll detect the fragrance of freshly picked pears and delicate baked apples. The smell follows through beautifully on to the palate. A soft, gentle mousse with a full, baked‑apple finish. Wythall Estate's Special Reserve is made exclusively from the Orion grape - a hybrid variety from Germany. Orion was created by Dr. Gerhardt Alleweldt (1927‑2005) at the Geilweilerhof Institute for Grape Breeding in Siebeldingen in 1964.	£45.00 Per bottle
SPARKLING WHITE	Pale golden-yellow colour. On the nose: Smell of pears and delicate baked apples. On the palate: Smell follows through on to the palate. A soft unaggressive mousse, and a full, baked-apple finish. Wythall Estate's Sparkling White is made exclusively from the Orion grape - a hybrid variety of German origin. Orion was created by Dr. Gerhardt Alleweldt (1927-2005) at the Geilweilerhof Institute for Grape Breeding in Siebeldingen in 1964.	£27.00 Per bottle
SPARKLING ROSÉ	Our Sparkling Rosé is perfect for summer drinking and fabulous, fun celebrations with it's colour of crushed strawberries and constantly rising small bubbles. On the nose - redcurrants and rose water, with some lees character coming through. The taste is gentle, soft mousse; light, fresh and fruity - red fruits, strawberries and redcurrants; sufficient but not aggressive acidity. A dry finish with good length. A blend of Orion and Rondo, our sparkling rosé is successfully grown in the Herefordshire climate. A disease resistant grape Orion has a soft balanced acidity and is often used in sparkling wines. Rondo is another reliably ripening grape and is highly resistant to disease. It's dark skin and rich berry flavours create an attractive blush with a delicious fresh taste.	£27.00 Per bottle
ESTATE RED	Rondo is a dark-skinned hybrid variety grape that flourishes in northern European climates. First bred in the former Czechoslovakia in 1964, Rondo was later developed and cultivated in Germany. Ripening is reliable and the grape is highly resistant to diseases. Rondo produces good-quality, full-bodied, deep red wines which is why we have had great success producing our award-winning Estate Red at Wythall Estate. Our Estate Red has a soft garnet colour. On the nose, plums and a hint of cinnamon. In the mouth, fresh red cherries, plums, and a hint of violets; a touch of fine-grained tannin to give the wine shape; medium to light weight. Delightful liquorice finish.	£20.00 Per bottle
SIEGERREBE	Siegerrebe is a white wine grape grown primarily in Germany. A relation to Gewürztraminer, and known as 'victory vine' in German, this vine is well suited to our cool English climate as bud-burst is late and the fruit ripening is early - perfect for growing in Herefordshire. The wine we produce from our Siegerrebe grapes is a clear, pale colour with a fresh, lively smell of whitecurrants and nettles. On the palate, follows through with flavours of melons and whitecurrants; present, but ripe acidity; dry, but not at all sharp, medium body; long, juicy finish.	£20.00 Per bottle
