Well apart from many beautiful wild Orchids, wild life, plants and flowers when we started clearing the land (on our hands and knees) we found that we had an old derilict vinyard. It has to be cleared by hand for fear of damaging the twisted gnarled roots. The locals remember it producing a good crop at least 30 years ago. The plants were on the floor and had put out creepers 4ft long, so no fruit all leaves.We slowly pruned and cleared up to now 100+ vines and last year we had 20 bottles of wine. All hand picked and pressed. It is amazing and we cherish every grape.
