Celebrating Local Welsh Wines

Here in Monmouthshire—often called the wine capital of Wales—we’re surrounded by some of the country’s most celebrated vineyards. From Abergavenny to Pembrokeshire, these producers are defining a new era for Welsh winemaking, and we’re proud to pour their work at The Royal George.

• White Castle Sparkling, Abergavenny
  A bright and elegant sparkling wine aged for 30 months, with gentle notes of elderflower, gooseberry, and a biscuity finish. It’s a local classic—fresh, refined, and beautifully balanced.
  
  

• Velfrey Traditional Method Sparkling, Pembrokeshire
  Produced using the traditional Champagne method, Velfrey’s sparkling is a standout example of Welsh craftsmanship. Expect delicate mousse, floral hints, and biscuity depth —perfect as an aperitif or with seafood.
  
  

• White Castle Pinot Noir Précoce, Abergavenny
  Soft, fruity, and elegantly spiced, this red is a true reflection of Welsh terroir, showcasing the care and character of cool-climate viticulture.

Each bottle tells a story of the landscape and represents the best of modern Welsh wine.

Exploring International Wines with Welsh Spirit

Alongside our local producers, you’ll also find international wines chosen for their shared values: respect for the land, traditional methods, and a focus on balance and depth. From the mineral precision of French Chablis to the lively freshness of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, our global selection complements our Welsh list beautifully.

Every bottle on our list, whether from near or far, has been chosen for how it enhances our dining experience—a harmony of flavour, place, and purpose that defines food and drink at The Royal George.

Perfect Wine Pairings with Our Seasonal Menus

Each season, our chefs and wine team work together to create pairings that celebrate the best of the valley’s produce and the elegance of our wines.

• White Castle Sparkling: a perfect match for Cornish Scallops, where its crisp bubbles lift the richness of the dish.

• Velfrey Traditional Method Sparkling: its floral notes shine alongside our Boscastle Cornish Trout Supreme.

• White Castle Pinot Noir Précoce: complements the warmth of our King Oyster Mushroom Risotto or Sea Bass Fillet.
