A generous length of pink grapefruit, almonds and biscuit pastry rounds off this complex wine.

Foxbury Fields Bacchus 2021 (6 Bottles) Ledbury, Herefordshire, England

£91.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Foxbury Fields Bacchus is a pale lime green aromatic dry white wine. The wine offers complex aromas of elderflower layered with Kiwi, grass and a herbal overlay. Well balanced with length on the palate this is a classic English Bacchus.

Created in 1933 by viticulturalist Peter Morio by crossing Silvaner x Riesling with Muller-Thurgau varieties to create a grape that produces a fine white wine. Originating in Germany, Bacchus has increasingly been grown in the United Kingdom. The climate being colder means the grapes tend to have increased levels of acidity compared to their German counterparts, giving a new flavour take on a classic German grape by keeping the flavor from becoming too intense or sugary.
