MOORLYNCH VINEYARD
Former Producers
of Fine Estate Grown English wines
Moorlynch vineyard grew
grapes and made wine for over 20 years. During that time we became well known
and won many awards for our wines. Following a decision in 1999 to retire the
proprietors Anne and Peter Farmer steadily reduced the size of the vineyard,
and ceased wine production entirely with the 2002 harvest. However as wine
production has been run down we have diversified our many fine buildings to
other uses, which include craft units (for details click on CRAFTS below), and an
outside catering company (click on NIBBLES
CATERING below).
The introduction
of new alcoholic drinks licensing laws precipitated a decision to close our
shop and restaurant completely from November 24th 2005, when the
new law came into force. We regret we no longer sell directly to the general
public, only to trade customers, from whom we welcome enquiries about our
Sleeping Beauty Brandy (for product details and prices click on BRANDY below).
