Why It’s On Our Shelves
Bright, aromatic & beautifully fresh — a classic English Bacchus with pure Norfolk character
Produced in Norfolk by Cobble Hill →
Cobble Hill’s Bacchus 2023 is a vibrant and expressive English white wine that captures the purity and brightness of Norfolk’s cool-climate winemaking. Grown on the estate’s flint and gravel-rich soils, this vintage showcases Bacchus at its finest: aromatic, refreshing and full of lifted, zesty charm.
The 2023 release opens with lively aromas of elderflower, citrus zest, gooseberry and fresh-cut herbs, followed by flavours of lime, green apple and soft tropical notes on the palate. Crisp acidity and a clean mineral edge give the wine structure and precision, while its delicate floral character keeps everything wonderfully light and refreshing.
Made with minimal intervention to preserve varietal purity, Bacchus 2023 is a beautifully balanced expression of the grape — bright enough for casual sipping yet refined enough to pair with food. It’s a standout choice for anyone who loves fresh, aromatic whites and a perfect introduction to the elegance of Norfolk still wine.
