About Thornfalcon Winery & Press
Tucked away in the rolling hills of Somerset, Thornfalcon Winery & Press is a charming West Country vineyard that embodies the spirit of English winemaking. Set against the beautiful backdrop of rural Somerset with its postcode TA3 5NP, this boutique winery has been cultivating vines across 0.80 hectares of carefully tended planted land, transforming a modest plot into a producer of expressive and characterful wines that speak clearly of their Somerset origins.
The vineyard's planting programme reflects a thoughtful approach to English terroir, incorporating both traditional and innovative grape varieties. Among the vines you will find Cabernet Noir, a variety well suited to cooler British climates, alongside the classic Chardonnay, which forms the backbone of many still and sparkling English wines. The ever reliable Seyval Blanc also features prominently, a workhorse of English viticulture that performs beautifully in Somerset's conditions, while Solaris adds early ripening vigour and bright aromatics to the portfolio. Pinot Noir Meunier brings depth and complexity for those seeking still reds and rosé expressions, and the intriguing Volti rounds out the planting, demonstrating Thornfalcon's willingness to embrace the evolving landscape of English wine production.
Thornfalcon Winery & Press takes its name from the historic Thornfalcon area, a location steeped in Somerset heritage. The winery operates as both a working vineyard and a producer committed to crafting wines that reflect the unique character of the West England landscape. Whether you are planning a visit to explore the vineyard rows, interested in tasting the current releases, or simply curious about what Somerset has to offer the world of English wine, Thornfalcon provides a genuine and grounded window into regional winemaking.
