As one of the top producers in Wales, Pant Du is an exciting and increasingly recognised brand in the UK wine industry. The business began in 2003 when Richard and Iola Huws bought the farm in the village of Penygroes. In 2007, the vineyard was established and the first wine was produced in 2010. Today, Pant Du is an important member of the local community and enjoys thriving business through the sale of wine, cider, apple juice, and spring water.
The location of the farm is vital to the growth of impressive grapes. Nestled on the slopes of the glacial Nantlle Valley, at the foot of Snowdon, Pant Du boasts fertile land, ideal for production of grapes such as Rondo and Bacchus. Since producing its first wines, Pant Du has claimed a number of national awards for quality.
The Pant Du Gwin Rosé 2015 is a light pink/red colour with a hint of orange. It’s made from Rondo and has a sweet and fruity nose. The palate brings strawberry and raspberry and the finish has elements of white flavour such as elderflower. It’s unique and enjoyable – most definitely should be on your list to try.
