Description
This Essex Bacchus is fresh and focused with aromatic notes of fresh green pea, lemon pith and white peach. Racy but rounded it’s the perfect spring/summer serve.
Single-site Bacchus was picked by hand and gently whole-bunch pressed to help preserve the variety’s delicate aromatics. The juice was settled in stainless steel before fermentation in old American oak barrels using non-Saccharomyces and ‘neutral’ Champagne yeasts.
Fermentation took 25 days, then the wine was racked off its gross less and aged in a neutral oak barrel (228 Litre, ex-Burgundy) on the fine lees for almost five months with no battonage.
The wine was bottled on 19th March 2024. Just 280 bottles were produced.
