Frequently asked about Ashling Park Bacchus
What does Ashling Park Bacchus taste like?
Gooseberry, elderflower and lime zest with a subtle scent of spicy white pepper and cloves, then honeysuckle and geranium harmonising with a juicy citric zing on the palate.
What is Bacchus?
Bacchus is a German crossing that has become England's signature still white grape, giving aromatic, high-acid wines often compared with Sauvignon Blanc but with their own elderflower and hedgerow profile.

Chilled to around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius and drunk young, within about three years of the vintage, while the aromatics are at their most vivid.
