Bacchus Chardonnay 23 Natural Wine

NATURAL WINE
The sister wine to our 'Dandelion' wine - The Chardonnay was direct pressed and makes up the majority of the blend, while the Bacchus was destemmed and macerated on skins for a week before the two were blended and aged across barrel and fibreglass for 20 months. The Bacchus is mellow, with a gentle yellow fruit character, white blossom, hints of spice and the Chardonnay adds a smoothness with note of mint - a wine of real depth that will go well with food but still feels fresh and lifted.

Our label celebrates Oilseed Rape — Brassica Napus — which is abundant in the fields around us, coming into flower typically in April/May, just as the growing season gets fully underway. We have planted this as a cover crop its deep taproot aerates and breaks up the soil, improving its structure. As it is broken up and returned to the soil it adds humus to it as well, further enhancing organic matter and feeding soil life. A welcome addition to any vineyard, much like this wine is to your cellar.
