About Fenny Castle Vineyard
A dream realised on the edge of the Somerset Levels, Fenny Castle Vineyard is a small, family-run estate in the picturesque village of Worth, near Wells. Owners James and Gill Cumming’s vision of planting a vineyard on the steep slopes overlooking Glastonbury Tor finally took root in 2005.
After years of farming and raising a family, James pursued a Viticulture and Winemaking degree at Plumpton College. This marked the beginning of our journey into the wine industry. We planted our first Bacchus vines in 2011, followed by Ortega and Pinot Noir the next year.As a small wine producer with our own winery we are able to hand-craft our wines with unparalleled care and attention to detail. Our winery is small but well equipped and using the best of traditional methods combined with cutting-edge winemaking knowledge we aim to produce wines of exceptional quality and individuality.
Careful selection of only the best grapes together with gentle pressing and cool fermentation we take care to preserve the freshness and intensity of the delicate aromas and flavours at every stage of the winemaking process. Today, we’re proud to offer a range of multi-award-winning wines. Our sparkling wines are crafted from 100% Pinot Noir.

Semi-aromatic on the nose, displaying appealing fresh aromas of green apple, grapefruit, cut grass and flora, whilst the palate is medium bodied, crisp and deliciously fruity. May be served as an aperitif, this white would also pair well with lightly spicy dishes and seafood.
Ortega is our signature wine and was one of the first varieties planted in 1969. We have been producing our popular Biddenden Ortega since 1972, and have kept the original Germanic style label as a historical memento.
Biddenden was one of the first vineyards to plant Ortega in the UK in the late 1960’s. Today Ortega covers just over half of the vineyard. Ortega grapes ripen early and are known for their low acidity and high sugar levels. Ortega is widely used in dry still wines, and can also be used to make sweet wines.

The Ortega grapes are hand-harvested and transported to the winery where they are destemmed, crushed, and pressed. The ferment was tasted daily and stopped at desired residual sugar level by chilling and filtering. The yeast was specially selected and was a sweet wine yeast Zymaflore ST. This yeast is susceptible to cold shock, making it easy to stop the ferment.
An aromatic medium sweet wine, well balanced with uplifting aromas of peach, gooseberry and elderflower.
