2024 Single Estate Bacchus, New Hall, Essex
The 2024 vintage is wonderfully aromatic, bursting from the glass with expressive notes of elderflower, fresh-cut grass, and green apple, layered over a core of ripe grapefruit and pear. On the palate, it is crisp, vibrant, and utterly refreshing. A zesty citrus character of lime and lemongrass leads, balanced by juicy stone fruit and a subtle tropical hint of passion fruit. The wine's clean, mineral finish makes it incredibly moreish and a perfect representation of modern English winemaking. This is an ideal aperitif for a warm summer's day but will also pair beautifully with goat's cheese salads, asparagus dishes, or fresh seafood.
