Walsingham Estate Vineyard - Bacchus Brut 2023

Tasting Notes:

Dry and fresh, a lovely light wine showcasing aromas of elderflower and citrus with green apple and lemon zest notes.

Food Pairing:

Bacchus Brut pairs well with fresh dishes. Its bright acidity and delicate bubbles make a natural match for oysters, crab, and other local Norfolk seafood. For a seasonal twist, enjoy it with Norfolk asparagus or a garden pea risotto.

About the Vineyard: 

Walsingham Estate Vineyard lies in the Stiffkey Valley, an easy walk to the south of Walsingham, close to the Roman Catholic Shrine at the Slipper Chapel and beside the former railway line which is now the Pilgrim Way. Part of the Walsingham Estate, the field was chosen for the vineyard as it is a gentle south facing slope, with free-draining soil studded with plenty of flint, above the all-important underlying bed of chalk. This same chalk seam runs through south eastern England to Champagne, Chablis and Burgundy.

Walsingham Estate's first sparkling wine, a dry Bacchus Brut was produced from hand harvested fruit using the traditional method of secondary fermentation in bottle. It offers classic Bacchus aromas, of elderflower, hedgerow, apple and citrus, with some soft creamy notes from ageing on lees.
