Grapes: Bacchus
Winemaking: Bacchus is a grape that needs to be picked before becoming over-ripe to retain its intense and distinctive grapy flavours.
After fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel vats at 12 – 18 degrees, the wine was left on its lees for 3 months for body and to retain the primary fruit aromas.
Serve: Chilled, great with delicately flavoured fish or seafood dishes.
Taste: Lime, apples and nettles on the nose. The palate is alive with lemon/lime acidity and an attractive, flinty minerality.
