Unlikely award-winning Leeds vineyard which wine lovers absolutely adore
George, 75, owns a small vineyard in Leeds, where he likes to work alone in peace and care for his crops across his five and half acres of land. Content with his lot, he refuses to expand it even though customers have begged for more from the award-winning wine-maker, with failed attempts to persuade him into buying twice as much land.
The father-of-one explains: “Officially, the Ministry of Agriculture says any vineyard the size of a quarter of an acre and above has to be classed as commercial as you couldn’t drink all of the wine from it. So if you do drink all of the wine yourself, you must be giving it away so therefore you have to pay excise duty on it.
George used to travel around the world when he was working and says a man in California who made great wine inspired him to make his own in Yorkshire. The Californian told him how people in general would dismiss domestically produced wine and proved how that was utter nonsense.
