They are fortunate in many ways with the location, the proximity to the coast, height above sea level and sea breeze reduces the threat of frost and disease. They actively encourage rewilding with the abundance of wildlife in the area being incredible and no herbicides or insecticides are used.

Eight specific low intervention natural wines are produced from the two grape varieties grown (solaris - white, rondo red); white & rose sparkling and pet-nat (semi-sparkling) wines and four still wines (white, orange, rose and red).

The current owners run regular tours and tastings where you get a chance to sample three of the wines and also host events on site with 40-70 people.
