Established in 2025, Loch View Vineyard has already begun cultivating an impressive selection of grape varieties across its 0.26 hectares of planted vines. The vineyard focuses on growing both traditional and modern grape varieties that are well-suited to the Scottish climate. Among the varieties planted are Bacchus, known for producing aromatic white wines with distinctive characteristics, and Chardonnay, the versatile grape variety responsible for some of the world's most celebrated wines.
