Bacchus
Bacchus is a grape variety celebrated for its aromatic character and elegant, fruit-forward style. If you enjoy wines that feel lively and fragrant rather than heavy or overly oaked, Bacchus is well worth exploring. This variety is best known for its expressive nose, often showing notes such as ripe tropical fruit, delicate blossom and a gentle, grassy freshness that keeps the wine feeling clean and bright.
Because Bacchus tends to preserve acidity, it’s a great choice for a well-balanced glass that works nicely across many occasions. You’ll often find it at its best when served slightly chilled, where the fruit character and floral aromas feel most pronounced. Depending on the winemaking approach, it can range from crisp and refreshing to more rounded and honeyed, but the hallmark is always that aromatic lift.
In the Grapes range, Bacchus stands out for drinkers who like to discover something different while still staying within familiar, approachable flavours. If you’re building a mixed selection, this grape is an excellent partner for light meals, seafood, and dishes with herbs or citrus, as well as for relaxed evenings when you want something aromatic without the fuss.
