Hi
A group of us (see victorkeegan.com) are trying to encourage allotment users and garden lovers to plant agreed vines (Phoenix for white wine and Regent for red) with the aim of producing a high quality London wine made by a professional winemaker. Is anyone interested?
During the early years - as we are building up volume - we would recommend the grapes are part of the wonderful Chateau Tooting initiative (urbanwineco.co.uk) when, once a year, grapes of all kind are delivered to a central point in Wimbledon and then processed by an established wine maker.
If you are interested please plant one or both of those vines this Spring. You can get them from the internet or from the excellent National Vine Collection at sunnybankvines.co.uk which also has hints about how to nurture the vines.
Spread the word if you can - and keep in touch.
Best wishes
Victor Keegan
