Awarded a Gold Medal at the IEWA 2025, our Bacchus 2024 is a fabulous example of what England’s signature white grape can achieve in the right hands — and the right climate.
Crafted from 30-year-old vines grown on our Suffolk estate, this wine captures the essence of English summer. The grapes are hand-picked and fermented at a cool 16°C in stainless steel, preserving the wine’s zesty acidity and vivid aromatics.
Expect bright layers of elderflower, lime, and green apple, with a refreshing, dry finish. Reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc in style, but unmistakably English in character.

- Appearance:
 
Pale straw or light lemon colour with a slight greenish tint, indicating freshness.
- Aroma (Nose):
 
this Bacchus is praised for its vivid aromatics and elegant complexity. The nose is “absolutely spectacular” — bursting with vibrant green notes and beautifully balanced acidity that carries through to a long, harmonious finish.
- Palate (Taste):
 
Fresh, clean, and precisely defined fruit leads the way, with flavours of lime, green apple, and elderflower shining through. The palate is beautifully balanced — crisp and refreshing, yet with just the right amount of roundness to add texture and depth. There’s a clear expression of Bacchus’s varietal character, delivering vibrant intensity without losing finesse.
- Body:
 
Elegant and balanced, the body enhances the wine’s freshness without overpowering its subtle complexity.
