Bacchus Grapes
Bacchus grapes are a delightful variety known for their contribution to the production of aromatic white wines. Named after the Roman god of wine, Bacchus grapes are often cultivated in cool climate regions, particularly in Germany and England, where they thrive in the temperate conditions.
These grapes are a hybrid variety, created by crossing Sylvaner, Riesling, and Müller-Thurgau grapes. This unique lineage imbues Bacchus grapes with a distinctive flavour profile characterized by vibrant notes of tropical fruits like pineapple, peach, and grapefruit, alongside floral aromas such as elderflower and honeysuckle.
Bacchus grapes typically ripen early, making them well-suited for regions with shorter growing seasons. Their high acidity lends itself well to winemaking, producing crisp and refreshing wines with a lively character. Often used in both still and sparkling wine production, Bacchus wines are celebrated for their aromatic complexity and versatility, making them a favourite among wine enthusiasts seeking something distinctive yet approachable.
