Dessert wine? From England? How do you do that? Good question, the short answer is, 'With difficulty'. Many dessert wines from around the world are simply left on the vine for longer periods to accumulate more sugar and in the case of ice wines, they are left out until the grapes are frozen. If we tried that here, we would produce a lovely bottle of rot.

Therefore, we harvest the grapes at a higher than usual sugar ripeness (so we leave them out for a bit longer than normal, weather permitting) then we put around 4 tonnes of Bacchus grapes in our walk-in freezer where they stay at minus 10 degrees for two weeks. Once the usual harvest is over, we take the frozen grapes out, put them in our press and press them extremely gently to extract the juice.

The result is a very concentrated, pure fruit liquid that has high amounts of sugar. The benefit of using Bacchus is that the sugar is balanced out by a wonderful fresh acidity, therefore the wine is not cloying. It's very popular and as rare as a foreign holiday in 2020.

Vinification Details

A very limited release, this elegant handcrafted English dessert wine is made from 100% Bacchus grapes in an ice-wine style. The grapes were hand-picked and frozen to -18°C for a month. After that period, and whilst still frozen, the grapes were slowly pressed in our Coquard press for approximately 48 hours, leaving most of the water behind as ice.  
The result was a viscous, concentrated and quintessential juice with naturally high sugar content, that went through a long cool fermentation in a stainless steel tank to maintain the pure fruit expression and freshness. The high sugars cause the fermentation to cease early, leaving relatively low alcohol (10%) and high residual sugar.
