This is not what you are expecting from an English Bacchus. This Cornish white wine is a medium bodied semi-sweet wine with only 8% alcohol, very similar to a good German riesling. 

A very different expression of Bacchus compared to your typical dry style, Knightor Mena Hweg is a unique fragrant and sweet small batch wine. Meaning pretty hill in Cornish, Mena Hweg is only made in years when the grapes achieve the right balance between sweetness and acidity. Fermented in stainless steel and with chilling used to stop the ferment, resulting in residual sugar and lower alcohol.

This semi sweet wine displays both floral aromas of jasmine, plus stone fruit. The palate is light and fruity, with flavours of peach and elderflower. A very food friendly wine inspired by the great wines of Germany. Serve at 8-10°C.

Excellent paired with cheese or lightly spiced foods.

Bacchus

The colder climate in England gives Bacchus higher acidity and lower yields than when grown elsewhere. English Bacchus wines often fall somewhere between the typical French and New Zealand styles of Sauvignon Blanc, although there are examples at either end of the spectrum.

Cornwall is incredibly bio-diverse. Woodlands, sun-kissed valleys and long coast lines are all present. Due to this diverse terroir, a diverse range of wines can be expected. Cornish winemakers today are producing everything from Rose to still red and white and sparkling wines.
