Winbirri Vineyard - Bacchus

Award-winning, aromatic & unmistakably Norfolk — England’s most celebrated Bacchus

Produced in Norfolk by Winbirri →

Winbirri Vineyard’s Bacchus is one of the most iconic English wines of the last decade, earning international acclaim and helping to put Norfolk firmly on the global wine map. Crafted from carefully managed vines in the heart of the Yare Valley, this Bacchus is renowned for its purity, aromatic lift and exceptional balance — a benchmark expression of England’s signature white grape.

Fresh, vibrant and beautifully layered, Winbirri Bacchus opens with intense aromas of elderflower, gooseberry, citrus zest and hedgerow herbs, followed by a palate that combines lime, green apple, passionfruit and crisp minerality. The acidity is bright yet refined, giving the wine focus and freshness while allowing its distinctive aromatics to shine. It’s clean, elegant and deeply expressive — everything great English Bacchus should be.

Made with precision by owner-winemaker Lee Dyer, this wine reflects Winbirri’s commitment to quality, sustainable vineyard practices and minimal-intervention winemaking. Year after year, it remains a favourite among sommeliers, critics and wine lovers across the UK.

A truly outstanding Norfolk white and an essential bottle for anyone exploring English still wine.
