Parva Farm Vineyard, Monmouthshire
Parva Farm Vineyard, planted on the slopes of the Wye Valley in Monmouthshire, just outside of Tintern, is set over 2.5 acres. Planted with Bacchus, Seyval Blanc, Muller Thurgau, Pinot Noir and Regent, plus a “demonstration plot” featuring Huxelrebe, Ehrenfelser, Regner, Scheurebe, Reichensteiner, Ortega, Kerner, Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc & Pinot Gris and Gewurtztraminer, it is one of the most viticulturally diverse vineyards in the country.
Rivaling Glyndwr, Parva Farm Vineyard also dates back to 1979, with subsequent plantings made in 1985 and 1989. The current owners, Colin and Judith Dudley, purchased the estate in 1996 and worked to bring the then neglected vines back into production. In 2001, Parva Farm produced its first commercial crop for some time.
The vineyard produces several still wines, as well as fizz, cider, mead and fruit wine. Like with many vineyards in Monmouth, Parva Farm’s wines are made at Three Choirs in Gloucestershire.
Parva Farm offers a self-guided tour of the vineyard, with tastings available at the cellar door.
