White Castle Vineyard is a Welsh vineyard situated near the market towns of Abergavenny and Monmouth it is owned and run by Robb and Nicola Merchant.
Purchasing a 12 acre small holding in 1995, Robb and Nicola converted the milking parlour into their home a year later, but it was 2008 before the dream of owning a vineyard became a reality, with the purchase of a 5 acre gently sloping south facing field.
After soil testing, 4000 vines of Pinot Noir, Regent, Rondo, Seyval Blanc & Phoenix varieties were planted in 2009, with a further 800 Siegerrebe in 2010 and a further 2000 Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc on their 10th anniversary in 2019.
Vine varieties have been carefully selected to match the soil and micro-climate of the vineyard resulting in grapes of the highest possible quality. The grapes are closely monitored, and as they ripen are carefully hand harvested, selected and then immediately transported to the winery for pressing to retain all the freshness and fruity aromas intact.
