Our Wines
Since the first vintage was celebrated in the new millennium, St Martin's wines have been a well kept secret, exclusively available on the Isles of Scilly either direct from our cellar door or from a range of local pubs and restaurants where they perfectly accompany local produce.
In 2020, for the first time, our range of still white, rose and red wines are available for delivery to your door.

The Vineyard
On south-facing slopes, a stone's throw from the sea, lies St Martin's Vineyard - a unique coastal vineyard and winery working towards organic production of white, red and rose wines.
The Winemakers
Leaving behind the landlocked Midlands, we moved to the island in 2020 to take on guardianship of this special site from Val and Graham Thomas who planted the first vines here in 1996.
St Martin's, Scilly
The Isles of Scilly lie 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall - once you reach Land's End, simply keep going! St Martin's is one of the smaller inhabited islands boasting stunning sandy beaches, unique flora and wildlife, and outstanding local produce.
Biodiversity and Organic Production
The vineyard is a haven for wildlife including rare arable flora, Scilly shrews and a thriving songbird population. After years of minimal inputs, we are taking the next step towards Organic certification in 2020.
This Week on the Vineyard
We use this space to share our impressions of the vineyard as it moves through the season. We thought that the key aspects of wine tasting would be a fun basis for a sensory shapshot!
Sights
Blue skies and fast white clouds, the vegetation on the hillside above the vineyard taking in an autumnal hint of brown
Sounds
The wind rustling the leaves of the hedges, vines and apple trees as it briskly whisks through the vineyard
Tastes
Blackberries ripening on the brambles and the fresh, crisp taste of the first windfall apples of the season
Scents
The soft, rich, damp smell of the soil responding to the storms and subsequent showers after a long period without rain
