Description
Bantham vineyard was planted in May 2021, it’s a unique site with breath taking views across the Avon Estuary and the famous Burgh Island.
We grow various varieties such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir Precoce, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Gris & Chardonnay.The topography on the site is based on the traditional farmland and countryside characteristics including Devon Banks, Traditional Hedging, Walled Garden…
The Ethos behind the establishment and most of the work in the vineyard is to encourage and promote biodiversity. The multiple species of trees, hedge plants and establishment of Devon banks are acting as wildlife corridors, providing shelter and food to small mammals, birds and insects. Clover cover crops between the rows of vines have been drilled to encourage pollinators and beneficial insects.
The vineyard is lucky to have the support of the local community, a regular team is working in the vineyard at various key stage of the vines growth. (Pruning, trimming, Shoot selection, Leaf stripping…)
