Winemaking: Biodynamic Bacchus grapes were harvested by hand. De-stemmed and macerated for 7 days. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Bottled with no filtration, fining or added sulphur.
This Wine: Natural skin contact wine from Kent! When Bacchus is macerated, you round off some of those aromatics and are left with something more refined. Still plenty of grapefruit and elderflower going on here and balanced brilliantly by refreshing minerals. Only 656 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.
