Liberty’s Bacchus 2023 Half Bottle
£15.00
Half bottle of our 2023 Liberty’s Bacchus.
“Bacchus, but not as you know it” is how our Head Winemaker, Fegus Elias, described his newest (and best) vintage of Liberty’s Bacchus.
Inspired by our home, from grapes grown at the very top of our Hush Heath Estate, this is one of our most complex wines to make. Fergus throws everything at it to create a style which has fantastic depth, a full mouth-feel and a spicy, mineral character. As with all Bacchus, there’s a zippy, citrus vibrancy – but this has been mellowed by careful (5%) oak ageing and supported by an array of wild ferments. His aim was to make a wine which is unmistakably English, but could rival the great still wines of Europe. It worked.
Key tasting notes :
- Crisp apple, intense grassy and elderflower nose and a splash of rose and citrus spice. Delicious, bright acidity balanced by a smoky depth. An intense, bright aftertaste.
Our pairing guide :
- Fresh zippy acidity, and a bright floral character, pairs brilliantly with light summery dishes. Try this with asparagus, artichoke or light goat’s cheeses. Remember, what grows together, goes together – and this wine is at home with the fresh, fragrant flavours of the English countryside in summer.
