The Wine

Jabajak Vineyard produces still white wines and sparkling rosés from grapes grown on their estate. Their winemaking journey began with the first harvest in 2014, leading to wines bottled under their 'White House' label. Notably, their 'The White House White Wine of Wales 2022', made from Phoenix and Seyval Blanc grapes, received a medal at the WineGB Awards 2024, contributing to Jabajak's reputation as an award-winning vineyard. While the grapes are grown on-site, the wine production itself is carried out at Three Choirs Vineyard. Jabajak describes its vineyard wine as "completely natural."
