“Signs of autumn - the reddening leaf, the chill in the early-morning air, the misty evenings. The summer has been splendid but it has lasted long enough. This morning I welcomed the chill in the air and viewed the falling leaves with cheerfulness.” ~A.A.Milne #mondaymotivation

The beauty of working in the South Downs means we share the land with a variety of wonderful creatures.

We believe this is a Flint hand axe, possible Mesolithic 8-10,000 years old. Found in one of our newest vineyard blocks. Amazing to think that people were living at Rathfinny that long ago.

Don’t get put off by the forecast .. this rain is set to pass over by midday and then the sun ☀️ will shine... a perfect excuse to drop into your local vineyard, have a picnic and celebrate the weekend. It’s getting warmer too!!
