Coddington Vineyard Bacchus

Notes - Coddington Vineyard lies below the Malvern Hills in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is owned by two doctors. It is a small family business with a two acre vineyard and modern winery. Bacchus is an early-ripening cross of Sylvaner, Riesling and Müller Thurgau which has clearly excelled on this site. On a south facing slope, the vines absorb the warmth of the sunshine late into the autumn, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly, important in the production of delicate, floral, aromatic English wines. This dry wine with its distinctive Bacchus bouquet, tastes of elderflowers, gooseberries and citrus fruit, with a  gentle nettley herbaceous background. Its crisp acidity gives it a clean finish. The wine will mature for up to 3 years, when it develops interesting tropical fruit flavours.
