Tasting note

Dry and vibrant, with expressive aromas of kiwi and passionfruit, underpinned by heather, leads to a fleshy palate of melon and pear. A subtle hint of cardamom on the long, textural finish.

An evolution in our favoured expression of Bacchus, and one that has become Flint’s signature style. To bring out the best in Bacchus during fermentation we use only small barriques, large oak foudres and un-lined concrete tanks to soften the wine and develop more complex aromatics.

The winemaking details

For those that are geeky like us and want to know the technical side.

Tasting note

Dry and vibrant, with expressive aromas of kiwi and passionfruit, underpinned by heather, leads to a fleshy palate of melon and pear. A subtle hint of cardamom on the long, textural finish.

An evolution in our favoured expression of Bacchus, and one that has become Flint’s signature style. To bring out the best in Bacchus during fermentation we use only small barriques, large oak foudres and un-lined concrete tanks to soften the wine and develop more complex aromatics.
Food Pairing

Effortlessly light, and packed with green fruit and lemony acidity that can perk up a plate of fish and chips, temper a bit of thai spice, or zing alongside crispy fried chicken.
Technical Specifications

Grape varieties:
100 % Bacchus. Blending different vineyard plots, with a range of picking dates balances acidity with flavour and intensity.

Alcohol:
11.5 %. No chaptilisation (the addition of sugar to adjust abv) meaning the alcohol comes 100 % from natural sugars, giving a light-bodied elegant wine.

Titratable acidity:
10.9 g / L - zesty acidity, lively and crisp. 20% of the wine went through malolactic fermentation to soften the feel of the acidity.

Residual sugar:
<0.5 g / L means that we've not added any sugar to back sweeten the wine. Any residual sugar comes from unfermented grape sugars. The wine is bone dry.
Vinification

A blend of distinct vineyard parcels, layering zesty acidity with the tropical character of warmer sites. Combined with a multitude of pressing techniques and yeast strains, each used to extract as much character from this expressive variety. 

To bring out the best in Bacchus during fermentation we use only small barriques, large oak foudres and un-lined concrete tanks. This promotes microoxygenation, which softens the wine and develops more complex aromatics.

Bi-weekly lees stirring (bâtonnage) and 20% malolactic fermentation adds a creamy texture while balancing acidity.
Ingredients

Grapes harvested from Flint Vineyard, Salary Brook Vineyard (Suffolk), Rowles Farm Vineyard (Suffolk), Martin’s Lane Vineyard, (Crouch Valley, Essex). Indigenous yeasts and active dried yeasts. 

Minimal Sulphites (<20 mg / L) - enough to protect from oxidation but well within the principles of low intervention.
