Tasting note

Viticulture

When deciding when to pick Bacchus we either aim to pick it before the grapes are considered ripe, or once the grapes are considered overripe. The Sandbar is a wine resulting from some early picking between the 12th and 13th October 2015 from two vineyards, the Southcote Vineyard (Devon) and Sandhurst Vineyard (Kent).

Vinification

Crushed, destemmed, cold settled 48 hrs. Inoculated with 4 yeast strains for varietal expression. Post-fermentation, gently racked, aged 4 months on fine lees for structure. Bottled late Feb, in-bottle development precedes release. Experience the result of meticulous care and craftsmanship

Food Match

Avocado, asparagus, seasonal greens, roasted vegetables, mushrooms, mackerel, fish and chips, chicken, pork, veal, aromatic spice, goats cheese.
