About Llanerch Vineyard
Llanerch, derived from the Welsh word meaning “clearing” or “open space,” boasts a rich history dating back to the 1800s. Originally a 22-acre working farm, it transitioned into a vineyard in the 1980s under the stewardship of Diane and Peter, who planted over 2,000 vines and launched the Cariad wine label. Llanerch flourished, becoming a renowned vineyard producing up to 35,000 bottles annually.
After selling Llanerch in 2005, subsequent challenges, including the 2008 financial crisis, left the property in disrepair. In 2010, Ryan and his family revived Llanerch, blending its vineyard heritage with hospitality. Following an extensive refurbishment, it reopened in 2011, featuring a restaurant, wedding venue, and accommodations.
In 2019, a 26-room hotel extension further elevated Llanerch’s offerings, but the COVID-19 pandemic posed new challenges. Adapting swiftly, the team launched the Llanerch Farm Shop, providing essentials and luxury goods to the community. Post-lockdown, Llanerch expanded its dining space, preparing for a triumphant return.
Today, Llanerch is a celebrated destination, recognised as the AA Best Hotel in Wales and awarded two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. Its legacy combines vineyard charm, exceptional hospitality, and an enduring commitment to innovation and quality.

Albourne Estate Bacchus 2022 (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
English-grown Bacchus grapes produce aromatic, fresh and crisp wines similar in style to Sauvignon Blanc but with their own distinctive aroma profile.
As is typical of the varietal, our 2022 Bacchus is pale, with a crisp light mouth feel and recogniseable aromatic complexity.
The diversity of aromas can range from herbaceous (tomato leaf, basil, sage, nettle, asparagus, grassy) to citrus (lime zest, lemon, grapefruit) to tropical fruit (medlar, mango, passionfruit) to floral (elderflower, honeysuckle) with the intensity ranging from punchy and intense to more subtle and elegant.
Our style of Bacchus aims for intriguing aromatic complexity and subtle elegance which we believe the 2022 delivers in abundance.
More about the Bacchus grape
The variety originated in Germany in the 1930’s as a cross between Muller-Thurgau and Silvaner x Riesling which has helped contribute to its complex nature. In order to enhance this complexity and build ‘terroir-character’ into our wines we blend multiple unique batches picked on different dates, split into different press fractions and fermented with different yeasts.
Food Match Suggestions: The crisp acidity and freshness makes Bacchus perfect as an appetising aperitif wine. It also pairs beautifully with English asparagus or goats cheese as well as seafood such as dressed shellfish or stronger flavoured salads such as Caesar or rocket.
