There are no mountains to be found near Copys Green Farm, Wighton, but this doesn't stop Catherine Temple producing Norfolk's very own Alpine-style cheese. Inspired by the local cheeses she discovered on a European cycling holiday, this semi-hard cheese is handmade to a Gruyere recipe using milk from the farm's own herd of Brown Swiss cows. Matured for six to nine months, Wells Alpine has a sweet, nutty flavour and a pleasant tang. Read more

"A pairing with Trevibban Mill Constantine 2018 was sublime! The wine’s nutty, buttery, honeyed and rich fruit character complemented those similar flavours found in Well’s Alpine."
