The Wine at Wythall Estate Vineyard

Wythall grows four grapes in its Wye Valley vineyard: early Pinot Noir, Siegerrebe, Rondo and Orion, and every wine is made from estate fruit. The Pinot Noir Reserve is only made in the best years; the 2023 spent 12 months in French oak and took silver with 94 points at WineGB 2025. The Rondo-based Estate Red 2023 won Best Red at the 2024 WineGB West awards, and the range also includes an aromatic Siegerrebe and two rosés.

Wines are sold direct by email order, with free delivery within 15 miles on orders of six bottles or more.
