Stonyfield Wine

A secret vineyard in Blisworth. Northamptonshire

@BarnardJudith @BC_WestMids Beautiful!

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

@lynbreckcroft And I thought pruning vines in the Midlands at this time of year was tough...

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

@TomPJourno @AmosAnnabel @BBCNorthampton Thanks for the warning. That roundabout is gruesome in the evening rush hour. Let’s hope the agonies we will all go through while the roadworks are underway will be worth it. BTW as I didn’t know the name of the roundabout, your drawing is far the more informative of the two!

@dunesforde @halfpennywines Martin comes to see us every year, and we couldn’t manage without his advice. It’s part of what makes the Halfpenny Green relationship invaluable.

Today it was great to have Martin Vickers from our winemaking partners @halfpennywines in the vineyard. As a newbie to the English wine industry, Martin's 30+ years' experience is invaluable to us #sharingknowledge #englishwine #futureplans

@TomPJourno @JeyesEB @BBCNorthampton @AmosAnnabel Wonderful coffee shop. So welcoming, and such an interesting, eclectic museum to boot. Well worth a visit!

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

And we are here too! A cold morning, it a lovely fire pit and coffee available to warm you up. Lots to browse. Do come along.

Here we are at The Old Rectory, Sudborough. As Hawkwell Herbs AND Islip Honey!

@hawkwell_herbs I hope you measured the space between the leaflets...

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

Now that’s a recommendation!

The @MailOnline showing that English sparkling wine is in demand - but it is still the most highly-taxed of all alcoholic drinks! Retweet if you think it's time to give wine drinkers a break and #cutbackwinetax

@NicoleNavigates look forward to it!

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

All set up and ready to go at the Northampton Winter Food Festival.

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

Looking forward to the @nptonfood festival on Saturday and Sunday!

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

Delighted to be at the Taste of Northamptonshire event in the House of Commons last week with many other excellent local food and drink producers. Our thanks to @MadeInNorthants for organising the day.

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

@hawkwell_herbs And nor did we. Parts of Northants seem to have been a dead zone for apple trees this year.

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

Our grapes going up into the press @halfpennywinery A satisfying sight after several days harvesting!

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

Second day of harvest - picking and collecting the crates of Pinot Noir. #harvest2019

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

Picking and sorting our Seyval Blanc grapes on Saturday, the first day of our harvest.

[Stonyfield Wine @stony_wine]

And we are just beginning to see this too. It’s pretty disheartening to have to weed out the affected bunches - but as long as we can get ours in this weekend it’s still looking like a good crop.
