WINE REVIEW
Following on from the immense success of the Bacchus Fumé 2022 (it was our top Bacchus in a recent 40+ strong industry-wide tasting), Flint has put faith in their unique approach by releasing just one Bacchus-based wine this year dubbed ‘Fumé 2023’.
Consider this a transition vintage from Flint, melding the racy aromatic freshness and tropical edge of their main Bacchus with the considered textural nuance of their Fumé.
The final blend is made with fruit sourced from Flint’s own vineyards in Norfolk and frequent collaborator Martin’s Lane Vineyard; 40% of the wine was fermented in 3rd use oak barrels.
The end result is a crisp, fresh, invigorating Bacchus led by the familiar characters of lime, grapefruit, pear and grass, but with subtle herby and spiced notes. Suggestions of basil, almond and ginger will keep you returning.
Once again, one of the best Bacchus on the market right now.
