The Wine

Failand Farm Partnership, through its "Wild West Wine & Cider" brand, produces a range of natural wines and ciders. Their offerings include still and sparkling white wines, with grapes for red varieties also grown on site. All products are made in tiny batches, reflecting an experimental approach and a commitment to minimal intervention.

Since their first vintage in 2020, their wines and ciders have garnered recognition, including 4 Taste of the West Product Awards.

The vineyard and orchards at Failand Farm are organically certified, and the winemaking adheres to natural principles. This means the use of naturally occurring yeasts for primary fermentation, and wines are produced with no added sulphites and are typically unfiltered or unfined, ensuring the honest expression of the land. The Failand Farm winery and cider house serves as a hub for a community of producers, including Limeburn Hill Vineyard and Wilding Cider.
