Welcome
WELCOME TO A WORLD OF WONDERFUL, HAND-MADE DRINKS
A soggy but relatively mild end to the Winter has given way to a burst of yellow from the daffodils and Forsythia and, having dusted off the lawnmower, we are feeling as though Spring has arrived! All but one colony of our bees have made it through the Winter and have been flying on mild and sunny days. We are hoping for another good crop of honey this year, which will become our lovely Traditional Mead.
We are very busy in the winery at the moment, as we bottle up our range for this year. Unbelievably, we have already started work on our batch of Christmas wine for this year. We will be starting to add spices to this product from May onwards, and it should be ready for drinking from mid-September onwards.
This year's batch of limited release, five year old Elderberry Port is also looking very promising. More on this, later in the Summer and Autumn.
We will be bottling new stock over the next few weeks, and the website will be updated as other products become available. We have exciting plans for this year, our 25th year of business!
There will be some completely new products, the return of some old favourites and one or two new dimensions to the Monkhide brand. Watch this space!
We are currently putting together our programme of events and festivals for the year and will let you know when these are coming. If you have registered your email address with us, we will email you to let you know when we will be at events.
Cheers!
