About The Dell Vineyard
The Dell Vineyard is the passion project of husband-and-wife team Lucy and Dan. Their journey began in 2005 when they moved from Monmouthshire to Bristol for university. After marrying in 2013, they spent six months travelling the Southern Hemisphere, where their love for wine was born, planting the saeed of a dream to one day own a vineyard.
In 2021, inspired by a desire for change after Lucy’s frontline experience as an ICU nurse during the pandemic, they made that dream a reality. Within weeks, they began leasing the Pen-Y-Clawdd vineyard and prepared to plant their own vines on The Dell, land that has been in Dan’s family since the late 1800s.
Today, they cultivate nearly 10,000 vines across six acres, including Pinot Noir, Solaris, Souvignier Gris, Cabernet Noir, Pinot Meunier, Seyval Blanc, and Phoenix. The Dell’s name honours both the family’s heritage and the landscape—a peaceful, grassy hollow bordered by trees, with the seasonal Nant y Wilcae stream weaving through.
Their logo features Raglan Castle, a medieval fortress tied to the region’s historical wine trade. Its 15th-century owner, William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, made his fortune importing Bordeaux wines, with cellars once filled with reds, whites, and claret—then crafted in a rosé style.
Rooted in history and fuelled by family passion, The Dell Vineyard is a tribute to the land, its legacy, and the joy of winemaking.

UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED
This wine is a blend of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir from the 2023 vintage and has been crafted to create a light delicate, fresh but aromatic white blend that celebrates the very best of the North Downs.
The Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir were whole bunch pressed with the Chardonnay formed purely from the cuvee fraction of the whole bunch press. The Pinot Gris was crushed and destemmed with a 2-hour soak. There was an addition of tea leaf tannins to the tank fermented wine to reduce the amount of added sulphites. 24% of the Chardonnay was fermented and aged in barrel for six months and 10% of the Chardonnay came from our Chardonnay ‘solera’ reserve tank which we started in 2015
This is the fourth in a series of limited-edition wines celebrating a chapter in our local history and the unsung heroines of the SOE in World War II who trained at nearby Wanborough Manor.
