“Bacchus, but not as you know it” is how Balfour’s Head Winemaker, Fegus Elias, described this latest vintage of Liberty’s Bacchus.It has a fantastic depth, a full mouth-feel and a spicy, mineral character. As with all Bacchus, there’s a zippy, citrus vibrancy – but this has been mellowed by careful (5%) oak ageing and supported by an array of wild ferments. It displays crisp apple, an intense grassy and elderflower nose and a splash of rose and citrus spice. Delicious, bright acidity balanced by a smoky depth. An intense, bright aftertaste. Hidden deep in the Garden of England, the Balfour Hush Heath Estate comprises 400 acres of perfectly manicured vineyards, apple orchards and ancient oak woodlands rich with wildlife, flora and fauna.
