Chapel Down Bacchus 2024

Chapel Down Bacchus is aromatic and fresh in style. It has aromas of melon and citrus with background floral notes. The palate is well balanced and it has a light and delicate finish. Grapes are grown predominantly on single and double guyot pruning systems, on varied soils including, chalk, clay and loam soils. Whole-bunch pressing retains the aromatic purity of this wine, which is fermented at cool temperatures. Blending and clarification takes place after 6 months on lees in tank.

Chapel Down is England’s largest wine producer. Based in the heart of the Garden of England, Chapel Down’s finest vineyards are primarily situated on the North Downs of Kent with a terroir very similar to that of Champagne. The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Bacchus vines are grown on south facing chalk soils and benefit from a warm, maritime climate. Chapel Down also source high quality fruit from long-term partner vineyards across Kent, Sussex and Essex, resulting in balanced wines with unique flavour profiles.
