Chapel Down Bacchus 2010 Kent, England

Bin Number: 068934
Up to 3 cases / 43 bottles in stock

Fresh, crisp and citrussy English white made from Bacchus.

With its grapes sourced from Kent and Essex, this white is England’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc. The Bacchus grape, named after the Roman God of wine, produces a fresh and crisp wine with excellent citrus fruit characters and a refreshing finish.

In the press:

"This wine is packed with zesty, bright fruit: imagine the floral bounty of the hedgerow harnessed to the power of a turbo-charged gooseberry - in a bottle."
Olly Smith, The Mail on Sunday, 27 June 2010 (2009 vintage)

More information

In the press: “…this tart, light, bosky summer white should be drunk outdoors, as a zingy apéritif with home-made cheese straws. It was grown in Essex and Kent and fermented cool in stainless steel to capture all its classy, tangy, gooseberry and lemon-zest fruit.”
Jane MacQuitty, The Times, 25 June 2011 (2010 vintage)

    Quintessentially English, smelling of elderflowers and hedgerows. Sip in the shade on a boiling hot summer’s afternoon. Bob Tyrer, The Sunday Times, 4 July 2010 (2009 vintage)
    The bacchus grape is behind many of the best English whites. As here, it's usually crisp and aromatic, with lemon and grapefruit and a hint of nettle. Susy Atkins, The Sunday Telegraph, 23 May 2010 (2009 vintage)
