Well here's a taste of what you can potentially expect, with the right combination of luck and skill!! My Rondo crop in 2018 just before harvest. #IrishWine Roger McMorrow Colm McCan Sinéad O’Sullivan Tom Doorley

This promises to be very interesting! Many vinegrowers on the panel will be meeting each other for the first time. I'm really looking forward to what will be a veritable milestone in the newly energised journey of Irish viticulture! #IrishWine

A great chat in the Drinks Theatre Ballymaloe this morning with highbank orchards & Killahora Orchards good fun as ever. With thanks to MC Colm McCan

‘Irish Vineyards - Past, Present and Future’ chaired by John Wilson - inspiring panel talk in the ‘Drinks Theatre’ with David Llewellyn Viking Irish Drinks Sean Kerin #philiplittle #thomaswalk #irishvineyards

How about this auld thing I’ve been drinking recently (ce soir, in fact)… here’s to Irish winemakers all over the world: their dreams, (their troubles - let’s be clear), their imaginations, their hopes, aspirations, guiding beliefs: inspiration takes perspiration, as they say…

A wet day, a viking Irish Vineyards, made a difference having the monarch of the UK Vineyards present , Stephen Skelton Stephen has seen many changes in Viticulture over the decades, now the time for Irish Vineyards 😀 #organictrustcertified John Wilson Colm McCan

Viking Irish Drinks John Wilson Colm McCan The heavy rain stopped the minute we arrived and we had a great tour of the vineyards. The wines were great especially the pet nat and the 2022 Rondo. Many thanks David.

Very good to visit the oldest Irish vineyard. thomaswalk-vineyard.com near Kinsale. Planted only with Rondo, it’s been producing since the late 1980s. Tasted the 2022 and 2019, plus 2023 rosé and sparkling. All very good wines. Many thanks to Thomas Walk for an excellent visit.

Irish wine - yes really. PS it’s very good! Ireland’s vineyards win global recognition ft.com/content/bab38b… via @ft
