Scenes from the 2025 harvest. What a dream it was, arguably the vintage of the century. The cellar is chocked to brim with happy ferments with the promise of great wines to come. Thanks to all those who lent a hand and made it so.

The London Cider Salon at Tate Modern is fast approaching! Join us on Sunday, 24th of May to celebrate and sample the finest ciders and perries alongside the makers themselves. Visit the 6th floor of the Blavatnik Building at Tate Modern to explore over a hundred different bottles from UK and international growers. All tastings are included in your ticket price. Meet the Makers: Rawlins Family Cider Specialising in keeved ciders, this small-scale Somerset maker uses hand-picked fruit from traditional orchards. By focusing on local varieties, @rawlins_family_cider save fruit from waste to create naturally sweetened ciders with a natural sparkle. Smith Hayne Based on a Devon farm dating back to 1333, Anna and Will of @smithhayneorchards have been crafting cider for over a decade. They manage 13 different varieties and perform every step by hand—from harvesting to labeling. Their ciders are unfiltered, unpasteurised, and never back-sweetened, ensuring a low carbon footprint. Skyborry Cider & Perry Founded in 2010 by brothers Adam and Dani Davies, @skyborrycider operates on the border of Wales and England. They work with biologically diverse relic orchards to produce hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented ciders and perries. Recently, they focused on single orchard blends to highlight specific varieties and locations. Starvecrow & Walgate Wine @starvecrowcider Crafted by Ben Walgate in East Sussex using fruit from neighboring orchardist Steve Reeve, these ciders demonstrate the heights a talented maker can reach with non-traditional varieties. Dry, lean in tannins, and beautifully oriented toward a bright acidity, they are truly the white wines of the cider world. @walgate.wine is Ben’s solo project, an evolution of his expertise in fruit and fermentation. Book your tickets today via the link in our bio!

orbyでは、ナチュラルワインとしては珍しいイギリス生産者のワインも取り扱っております。 イングランド南部・サセックス州の海風が吹き抜ける小さな街 Rye(ライ)。 ここで誕生した新鋭ワイナリーが Walgate Wines(ワルゲート・ワインズ) です。  @walgate.wine 造り手は Ben Walgate(ベン・ワルゲート)。 イギリスの自然派ワインを語る上で欠かせない存在「Tillingham(ティリンガム)」で経験を積み、 2022年に自身の名前を冠したワインづくりをスタートしました。   「もっと自由に。もっと自然に。もっと土地らしく。」 というコンセプトのもと、畑にも醸造にも余計な手を加えず、自然の声を聞きながらつくる方法で作られたワインは、穏やかでやさしい心地の良い口あたり。 前菜からメインのお肉料理まで、幅広い料理に合います。今の時期には、苺のデザートに合わせるのもおすすめです。 ランチからディナーまで提供していますので、 是非お気軽にスタッフまでお声掛けください。

Approaching the half way point in our harvest and what a vintage it is promising to be. Early September gave us a bit of a scare, but the hot summer really paid dividends with some of the finest grapes we’ve even seen gracing the winery. Chardonnay pictured here has the perfect balance of acids and sugars to make a truly exciting white wine.

Punchdown. Gently submerging the cap of grape skins which sits on top of the fermenting red wine beneath. Once the fermentation begins to gather pace, we repeat this process regularly to ensure the cap stays refreshed and healthy.
