Unit price per
Grape varieties: 100% Bacchus
ABV: 15%
Pale clementine in colour, this still skin contact Bacchus has a slight haze due to its lack of fining and filtration. It displays vibrant aromas of peach and white nectarine along with a hint of baked red apple, pink grapefruit and almond on the nose. These elements persist but are intermixed on the palate with apricots, fresh grapefruit zest and honey. Notes of white pepper and clove, along with just a touch of creaminess are present on the finish. Balanced, rich and savoury it exhibits light tannins and rounded soft acidity, making it very approachable, both for food pairings and as a stand alone wine.

About the producer
Vindemiate was born from a desire to make good – to make good for the environment and our customers and to make good wine. Good wine isn’t just what you find in the bottle, it’s every part of the journey from grape to glass.
Partnering with social enterprises and small scale ‘garden’ growers, people who understand that working in true harmony with nature is often at odds with conventional, large-scale agriculture. A growing movement towards sustainability not only of our environment, but of the practices and techniques used to manage it is what Vindemiate celebrate. and the low intervention approach to their winemaking allows the natural expression of the fruit to shine through.
