About Polgoon Vineyard
Polgoon – Cornish for “Pond on the Downs” – perfectly reflects the vineyard and orchard’s stunning location atop a sunny hill overlooking Mounts Bay. This connection to the land and sea is beautifully illustrated on Polgoon’s labels and logo, representing its deep roots in the Cornish landscape.
John and Kim Coulson purchased Polgoon in 2002 after years as fish merchants in Newlyn. Transforming the derelict flower farm into a vineyard, they planted 3,500 vines in 2004, including Rondo, Pinot Noir Précoce, Seyval Blanc, and Ortega. Their first harvest in 2006 was a triumph, producing an award-winning still rosé. Despite early challenges, including harsh Cornish weather, they diversified into cider production, which remains a key part of their business.
John is a self-taught winemaker, adapting techniques to Cornwall’s unique conditions. Polgoon now produces an exquisite range of still and sparkling wines, celebrated for their clean, delicate expression of English fruit.
Sustainability is at Polgoon’s core. They create wildlife corridors and preserve natural habitats across 40% of the land, supporting biodiversity with features like ponds and beehives. Polgoon minimises environmental impact with strict recycling policies, reduced plastic use, and collaborations with initiatives like Plastic Free Penzance, earning Plastic Free Status in 2018. Pressing waste is repurposed as animal feed, and their shop supports local businesses to reduce transport miles.
Polgoon embodies a deep love for the environment, producing high-quality, sustainable wines and ciders while fostering a connection to the land and community.

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.
