Lyme Bay Bacchus

Lyme Bay Bacchus, Producer

Lyme Bay Winery is located in Devon and is a standout producer in the growing English wine scene. Known for pushing the boundaries of what English still wines can achieve, Lyme Bay specialises in vibrant, expressive whites made from carefully sourced grapes grown in the sunniest parts of the UK, including Essex and Kent. Their Bacchus is one of their flagship wines and a benchmark for the grape in England.

Lyme Bay Bacchus, Terroir & Winemaking

The grapes for this Bacchus come from warmer pockets in the southeast of England, where chalky and sandy soils help to amplify aromatics and retain acidity. The winemaking approach is clean and precise: stainless steel fermentation, cool temperatures, and careful lees ageing bring balance, freshness, and a touch of complexity to the wine.

Lyme Bay Bacchus, Tasting Notes

Fragrant elderflower, cut grass, lime zest, and gooseberry leap from the glass. On the palate, it’s bright and mouth-watering, with citrus and green apple notes balanced by a crisp mineral edge. The finish is long, lifted, and refreshingly dry, with lingering floral and herbal accents.
