The Dell Vineyard, Yr Afanc, Wales

Our vineyards

We are a small, family-run vineyard based between the beautiful Usk and Wye Valleys in Raglan, Monmouthshire.

We have recently planted the vineyard on the outskirts of Raglan, with 5000 vines of Pinot Noir and Solaris. The Dell has been farmed by the Alford family for five generations and this is our diversification project. We will plant a further 3000 vines next year.

We also lease an established 20 year old vineyard nearby which is located close to the hamlet of Pen-Y-Clawdd. There are 1700 vines which cover an area just over an acre in size. There are several varieties planted including, Pinot Noir, Seyval Blanc and Phoenix. We currently have two wines in our collection but as we expand we will also make sparkling and red wines.

The Afanc: a mythical beast who slinks in the depths of a Welsh mountain lake. It is said to prey upon any foolish enough to fall into its pristine waters.

A reimagined version of last years release. This is now a blend of aromatic white varietals from our 20 year old vineyard in Pen-y-Clawdd.

Flavours of elderflower and pear with a passion fruit aroma.
