Chapel Down Bacchus 2021/22, Kent

You might expect big things from something that’s named after the Roman god of wine – Bacchus is England’s star white grape variety. It’s like a subtle sibling of Sauvignon Blanc. And this one is made by one of the UK’s leading wineries, Chapel Down. It’s made from fruit sourced from Kent, Essex and East Sussex that’s handled to preserve every drop of aromatic complexity. Expect flavours of grapefruit, melon, green apple and pineapple. Try it with Thai food.
