Bacchus 2024
£17.99
Case of 6 bottles - £15.99 per bottle
Inspired by the aromatic white wines of Alsace and Saint Bris, our winemaker Laurence has made our 2024 Bacchus in a full and rounded style whilst preserving the fresh fruit and perfumed character of Bacchus. Dry, unoaked, textured and with balanced acidity, this is a uniquely British style of wine.
TASTING NOTE
Clear lemon gold with green hues. Poached pear, sweet lime, and elderflower cordial on the nose. A luscious and textured mouthfeel is balanced by a fresh acidity showing gooseberry fool, nectarine, and herbaceous nettle and mint on the palate.
