Come and join Joseph, the owner, winemaker, viticulturist and cellar door manager (or Sue) for a unique, fact packed and intimate cellar door experience. Joseph is involved in every process of the grapes journey, carefully tending them from vine to bottle. A one man band with over 27 vintages under his belt. Plus he loves to talk about wine and solar so be prepared to settle in for a while. Ballycroft was originally the name of the cheesery run by Sue Evans and her sister Tracey Skepper. Waste water was utilised to irrigate the young vines and whey used as fertilizer. The cheesery ceased operating in 2011 but the distinctive logo still graces the Small Berry wine bottles. Our wine is made as a reflection of our sustainable vineyard, the terroir and the individual vintage. Therefore you are to expect some variation from year to year and this will be evident in the final product.
