ABOUT DASHELMERE
Dashelmere was established in 2021 at West Ashford Barton, a 13th century Devonshire farm characterised by its rolling hills and ancient woodland. The view from the top fields encompasses the entirety of the Taw estuary, as it stretches past Braunton Burrows and Hartland Point, out to the Atlantic Ocean.
Rooted In Family
Charlie and her mum Arlene will be out in all weather, committed as they are to the family tradition of arable farming and rewilding, alongside their new passion for viticulture. Throughout the growing season they meticulously tend to the vines, eagerly anticipating the end of Summer, when family and friends descend for the harvest.
Our grapes
Our grapes are modern PIWI varieties that are resilient to unpredictable weather and disease. We have 4 acres under vine growing Solaris and Sauvignac.
