Description
Made from a blend of Bacchus and Pinot Noir grapes, this unique English wine is bright in colour and flavour. Perky and refreshing it's shot through with notes of red berries and aromatic pink grapefruit.
An experimental wine in every sense, it was made up bringing together two live fermentations; Bacchus grown at Yew Tree Vineyard in Oxfordshire and Pinot Noir from Brenley Farm in Kent.
The wine completed fermentation in barrel, where it matured for almost five months before bottling. This time in barrel helped develop a little texture and bite in the wine, while retaining the bright red fruit and citrus-licked acidity.
The perfect spring/summer serve.
"A vibrant nose of juicy strawberry, pear drop, watermelon and hints of floral and spice. Similarly diverse on the palate, this leads with a fusion of ripe strawberry, lime and fleshy melon. There’s a richness to the red fruit here, which contrasts with the zesty, grassy and floral character of Bacchus. While fruit-forward, this has got a certain structure and complexity that continues to make it stand out." - John Mobbs, Great British Wine
