Knightor Winery, Bacchus

Wine Type: White Grape(s): Bacchus Country: UK Region: Cornwall Organic: No Vegan: Yes ABV: 11.5% Winemaking: An aromatic and elegant reflection of the 2025 vintage, this Bacchus is a more vibrant expression of the normal notes with wonderful balance. The grapes were picked by hand in October 2025, then destemmed and pressed following a short time cold soaking. The must was then cool fermented using only natural yeast in stainless steel. The fermentation lasted over 6 months after which time the wine was left on the lees for a short period before being bottled in early summer 2026. Tasting Notes: Bacchus is often a variety compared to Sauvignon Blanc and in England can often be highly aromatic. Each year they allow the vintage variations to shine by fermenting cool in stainless steel. This Bacchus is a more exuberant style, with aromas of gooseberry, grapefruit and elderflower. The palate is dry and crisp with tangy citrus flavours, and a fruit filled finish with a touch of spice. Food pairing: Perfect served with soft cheeses and salads.
