Grape Variety: Bacchus
Producer: Ham Street (Lucie & Jules) & Offbeat
Region: Hamstreet, Kent, UK
Wild Scale: 4/5
Vegan friendly wine
10% alcohol
Winemaking: Biodynamic Bacchus grapes were harvested by hand. Macerated for 9 days in stainless steel where fermentation with indigenous yeast began. Pressed into old barrels to finish this process. Aged here for a further 10 months before bottling with no filtration, fining or added sulphur.
This Wine: Natural skin contact wine from Kent...hat a time to be alive! This is all about fruit, with particular notes of pear, grape, apricot, mango and passionfruit. Easy drinking but plenty of complexity and clocks in at just 10% alcohol. Only 288 bottles produced.
Notes on the Winemaker: Lucie and Jules grow grapes in Kent using organic and biodynamic farming practices (with certification to follow soon). Daniel and Nicola at Offbeat purchase many of these grapes to make their own wine with and Dan has spoken to us enthusiastically about the quality of fruit produced.
