Later this month vineyards across Wales will raise the profile – and a glass or two – of wine as they celebrate Welsh Wine Week (May 28th – June 5th).
With a growing worldwide reputation for wine producing excellence, Welsh vineyards are flourishing.
There are 17 vineyards in Wales, of which 13 are members of the Welsh Vineyard Association (WVA) – the newest being Gwinllan Conwy in North Wales.
Viniculture in Wales is booming, says Robb Merchant owner of White Castle Vineyard in Abergavenny, and newly installed chairman of the WVA.
New Carmarthenshire vineyard – Jabajak – has joined the illustrious ranks of Wales’ burgeoning wine industry with the launch of its first wine, which has just picked up its first award too!
