Chapel Down Kit's Coty Bacchus Tasting Notes by Wine Expert, David Andrews, DipWSET
This is extremely aromatic, with elderflower, nettle, and fresh-cut grass really exemplifying it. A fruity side balances this out with tropical notes like lime zest and guava giving a ripe feel to the wine. On the end you’ll get a subtle smoky hint which Pouilly Fume lovers will enjoy the most.
The palate itself possesses weight and richness despite these otherwise lighter, aromatic aromas. Evidence of barrel use through toasty, smoky notes added to this. Lemon and lime zest, green apple, peach and lychee contributed to the fruit in a very emphatic manner, giving the wine real character and flavour intensity. A long, zippy finish caps off the classic Bacchus grape acidity. It’s the best Bacchus I’ve tried yet!
