OLD VINE SINGLE ESTATE - BACCHUS FUME
Our Old Vine Bacchus Fume, sustainably nurtured for over 40 years, blends vibrant fruit notes of stone fruit with earthy depth, opening with bright aromas of orchard fruits and citrus. The textured palate is complimented by oak nuances of vanilla and delicate spice; an excellent match with smoky, creamy and rich dishes.
These large, old gnarly vines are significant reservoirs of biomass and carbon; they play a vital role in local hydrological cycles, by sustaining, feeding and protecting our local soils. A testament to three generations of viticulture, these vines retain, preserve, celebrate, recognise, respect and dignify the tradition and wisdom handed down through the generations, making the people an integral part of the future for these varieties.
Cindy Marie from Love Wine Food Review
First Vintage with an appealing twist of this white variety from one of the County's oldest producers. Tasted in anteprima on a visit to the vineyards back in March, my tasting notes read - a Bacchus for those who don't usually like Bacchus. From old vines (40yrs), part-barrel fermented then aged in oak for a couple of months - which has smoothed out the tannins often left unbalanced in this variety. Lovely aperitivo - ideal with smoked almonds.
