Capreolus Bacchus Grape Eau de Vie 2019
UK
ABV 43%
Exceptionally aromatic, Bacchus has marked itself out as one of the most influential grapes to be grown in the UK. It expresses the English countryside and the flower filled hedgerows amongst which it thrives. With a highly intricate aroma, good acidity and moderate sugar levels we highlight how our terroir is capable of producing distilling grapes of great quality and distinction. Hand picked, gently pressed, the skins are wild fermented and distilled in our bain marie still as with the finest marcs and grappa.
On the nose, dusty elderflower and melon, herbaceous with hints of nettle, hay and delicate sweetness. On the palate it is soft and filled with ripe melon and layered vegetation, floral with honeysuckle and rose, touches of humus and spice. Its complexity grows and evolves throughout tasting.
We met Barney in the Spring of 2022 in the UK and were blown away by what he was doing with his Eaux de Vie and gin, we knew we had to carry it. Luxurious and incredibly complex, showcasing botanicals and flavour without compromise.
