Evolution Winery 1276 Bacchus 2024

Evolution Winery 1276 Bacchus

Tasting Note

Inspired by the aromatic white wines of Alsace and Saint Bris, our winemaker Laurence has made our 2024 Bacchus in a full and rounded style whilst preserving the fresh fruit and perfumed character of Bacchus. Dry, unoaked, textured and with balanced acidity, this is a uniquely British style of wine.

Producer

In 1276, the Bishop of Hereford’s ‘Red Book’ recorded the planting of vines on the south-facing slopes of Ledbury, Herefordshire. These early ecclesiastical vineyards marked the beginning of a long and remarkable connection between this land and the craft of winemaking.
 
Nearly 800 years later, we have reintroduced vines on these very slopes - reviving an old tradition with a modern, visionary approach. Nurtured by the same unique microclimate, our vines grow where history runs deep, and where innovation leads the way.

At The Evolution Winery, our land is more than soil, it's the soul of our craft. Nestled in Herefordshire's rolling hills, our 25-acre vineyard is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and excellence. 

Our land doesn't just grow grapes; it nurtures a vision where every vine tells a story of responsibility, community, and passion for the planet. 

Embracing the Triple Bottom Line philosophy of People, Planet, and Profit, and as proud members of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain, we continually seek innovative ways to minimise our impact, from eco-conscious packaging to energy-efficient winery designs.
