My parents-in-law come from a small town called Penarth which is just outside Cardiff in Wales. I was indeed surprised to discover that grapes was being grown minutes away from where they live.
The Bryn Ceiliog vineyard is located on the Beggan farm on Cock Hill in Leckwith in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales. There are 2,000 vines planted on over 4 acres (1.8 hectares). Both black and green grape varieties are grown and all the vines are cool-climate varieties, mainly from Alsace and the Rhine Valley.
The white wine is a blend of six grape varieties which are Orion, Phoenix, Reichensteiner, Kernling, Findling, and Bacchus. The red wine is a blend of three varieties which are Rondo, Dornfelder, and Regent.
After harvesting, the grapes are sent to the Three Choirs Vineyards in Newent for processing and bottling.
The price is currently 45 GB pounds per half case (6 bottles) inclusive of VAT and paid duty. Delivery is free within South Wales for orders of four cases or more.

I tried this wine recently at a restaurant and really enjoyed it and would like to buy a couple of cases. However I cannot get hold of the contact details for this vineyard or alternatively where the wine is sold. Any help much appreciated
Just to be clear, I have seen the telephone number on the label and tried this and written to the address and not received a reply - I wonder if they are still in business??
