White Castle Vineyard is a Welsh vineyard, situated near the market towns of Abergavenny and Monmouth. It is owned and run by Robb and Nicola Merchant. Having purchased the 12 acre small holding in 1995 they converted the milking parlour into their home a year later; however it was 2008 before the dream of owning a vineyard become a reality, the 5 acre gently sloping, south facing field opposite was purchased, soil tests were performed and vines ordered. May 2009 saw the planting of 4,000 vines. The varieties of vines planted were Pinot Noir, Regent, Rondo, Seyval Blanc & Phoenix: now there was no turning back! May 2010 saw a further planting of 800 Siegerrebe vines. May 2019 marked their 10 year Anniversary since first planting and to mark this milestone they have planted a further 2,000 vines of Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc.
