Winter Bottled: The Story of Fireside

The Story of Fireside

When we first launched Noble Isle, now more than twelve years ago, it was unusual for a restaurant to have its own kitchen garden and most of the produce served, even in the finest restaurants, was generic. So when on a cold winter’s evening, sitting by the fire in a 17th-century Welsh coaching inn, The Bell at Skenfrith, we were offered a plate of mixed heritage tomatoes, we knew we had to find out more. 

From the beginning, our mission at Noble Isle has been to champion and celebrate the produce, artisan producers and conservationists of the British Isles: the places that make these islands special and the people who are safe-guarding their land, flora, fauna and history for future generations. 

Nourishment from the Earth

Following that evening, Noble Isle forged a partnership with The Bell to create the unique antioxidant Beetroot extract for our Fireside collection. Beetroot is naturally high in Vitamins, Minerals and the powerful antioxidant Betacyanin and wesource the red, white and yellow Beetroot used in our extract from the The Bell’s organically certified kitchen garden, nestled among the rolling Monmouthshire hills. 

Winter in a Bottle

The fragrance for our Fireside collection was created from the ambience of that memorable night – the flickering hearth, oak beams, time-worn flagstones and a warm welcome at a coaching inn that has been receiving travellers for centuries.

Fireside is a warm and woody fragrance, blended to evoke the elemental comfort of a flickering fire. Winter spices including Ginger, Pink and Black Pepper and Cinnamon are refreshed by zesty Grapefruit and anchored by grounding notes of Oakmoss and Vanilla.

Wales’ Hidden Gem

Sited on the banks of the River Monnow, The Bell was built back in the 17th century as a coaching inn. Today, it’s one of Wales’ best-loved boutique hotels and restaurants. The local area is also known for stargazing and its lack of orange light. Close to the English border, The Bell is little more than an hour from Cardiff, Bristol or Cheltenham and three hours from London.
