The
unique flavour of this wine is influenced by the black granite
soil, the pure sea air and above average annual hours of
sunshine. This combination ensures the full ripening of
the grape varieties selected for the location.

The
white wine's have a light, fresh and delicately fruity flavour.
Served lightly chilled, they are a good accompaniment to

who has visited the Islands before will know that St. Martin's is
a short boat journey from the main island of St Mary's, from which
boats run daily in the summer months.
