Yesterday I paired the @denbiesvineyard Vineyard Select Bacchus 2019 with a fragrant crab, fennel & red pepper dish in a red curry coconut broth.
The zesty intensity of the Bacchus and zippy acidity made this a great pairing. Will be posting a review next month for #BacchusDay
@GreatBritWine couldn't agree more! A fantastic wine from a #vineyard with a great history and the #pedigree for a fantastic future. 😉 @VisitEssex @MaldonTourism #crouchvalley #wine #bacchus #essex https://twitter.com/GreatBritWine/status/1363097390337699843
