Tinston
Our wines and ciders are made using traditional methods with fruit sourced from a range of trusted producers, allowing for flexibility and control over the quality of the finished product. Naturally dry, these are drinks with crisp and refined flavour profiles, minimal additives and no added sweetness, letting the refreshing and quintessentially English dry pallet of the fruit provide the focus.
As there are minimal additives and processing, all Tinston wine and cider products are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. These are products that are not designed to appeal to general mass-market trends or tastes, but celebrations of the unique and natural produce of England and the artistry of traditional winemaking and cidermaking.

HEAD WINE & CIDERMAKER
LIAM TINSTON
Liam makes use of expertise gained from his BSc Viticulture & Oenology degree and his substantive experience working with winemakers in, California, South West France, Australia and New Zealand, and applies his understanding to English fruit varieties and the unique characteristics of English terroir in the making of our products.
After roles as Winemaker at both Three Choirs and Carr-Taylor, he wanted to create a new and innovative line of wines and ciders, making use of the distinct characteristics of dry, crisp English cider and the unique and refreshing character of English grapes. Using processes more aligned to sparkling wine production led to the production of his innovative and award-winning ciders, elegant and refreshing in flavour and allowing the true character of the fruit to take the centre stage.
