Tasting Notes
Bacchus has rapidly become England's most exciting white grape variety. This vintage is dry, delightfully aromatic, lightly fruity and supremely refreshing.
Richard Bampfield MW.
"Complex and generously flavoured, this has elderflower, lemon and lime and a twist of pepper. A fuller weight and texture than many examples" Susy Atkins Decanter Magazine September 2011.
"Like sauvignon blanc, you either love or loathe Bacchus but I think this tart, light, bosky summer white should be drunk outdoors, as a zingy aperitif with home-made cheese straws. It was grown in Essex and Kent and fermented cool in stainless steel to capture all its classy, tangy, gooseberry and lemon-zest fruit." - The Times, 50 Best White Wines Saturday 25th June 2011.
