FlintVineyardFume2024

Flint Vineyard initially produced two styles of Bacchus: a stainless-steel fermented Bacchus and an oak-aged Bacchus Fumé. However, the Fumé quickly gained acclaim from wine critics and local enthusiasts alike. Winemaker Ben Witchell believes that this wine best showcases the Bacchus grape variety. Consequently, in 2023, they decided to focus solely on producing the Bacchus Fumé. The wine is partially aged in neutral oak (40%), which enhances its texture without imparting oak flavour. The resulting wine features aromas of ripe, fleshy pear and English apple with hints of rose petal. On the palate, it is soft and textured yet fresh and crisp, offering generous notes of pink grapefruit, almonds, and biscuit pastry, culminating in a complex tangerine finish.
