All good wine-makers know that "quality is made in the vineyard and enhanced by the winery" - so great care is taken at Willow House Vineyard to ensure that the best grapes are produced.

From Suffolk Sunshine to Award-Winning Wines:

Growth is prolific in the Summer months so the vines are regularly tied back and trimmed by hand to ensure that the maximum amount of sunlight reaches the growing fruit during this crucial time. From the beginning of September, ripeness is monitored using a hand-held device called a refractometer and, once sugar and acid levels are in the correct balance, the grapes are ready for harvest.
