Available for over a year

Vineyards in Yorkshire are experimenting with the growing of grapes typically found in southern Europe as summers become hotter and longer. Wineries in the region are set for a record-breaking harvest following a dry and warm growing season, after they produced more than 140,000 bottles in 2025. Oli Constable went along to Yorkshire Heart Vineyard to check on their latest harvest.
