Blue Moon Radnorshire

Blue Moon Radnorshire is a Welsh vineyard located near Llandrindod Wells in Powys, producing distinctive red, white, and rosé wines that capture the magic of this beautiful county. The vineyard's name references the rare and special Blue Moon phenomenon, reflecting their philosophy of creating something exceptional in every bottle.

Blue Moon Radnorshire: Site and Grape Varieties

The vineyard was planted in 2014 with 1,200 vines of two varieties: Solaris for white wines and Cabernet Cortis, a dark-skinned grape variety suitable for red and rosé production. The plantings have since expanded to over 2,200 vines flourishing across what was once barren Welsh farmland.

Growing grapes for wine production in mid-Wales represents a genuine pioneering effort. Solaris is a robust variety bred for northern climates, while Cabernet Cortis offers the possibility of red wine production in this challenging environment. More recently, Frühburgunder has been added to the mix, expanding the range of possible wines.

The Blue Moon name emphasises the Radnorshire culture and the owners' love of this magical county. Each bottle is designed to capture something rare and special, reflecting the unique conditions of Welsh viticulture and the dedication required to succeed in this emerging wine region.
