Vines were first planted at Llanerch in 1986 and there were subsequent plantings each year up to 1991 when a total of nearly 7 acres of vines were growing. Llanerch is currently the largest commercial vineyard in Wales producing estate-grown wines. These are marketed under the Cariad label. Cariad Wines have gained exceptional critical acclaim. Over twenty awards in international competitions and a huge number of successes in UK wine festivals testify to their outstanding quality. The wines are available from Sainsbury stores throughout Wales or directly from the vineyard.
