Camel Valley, Bacchus, England, United Kingdom, 2020

Sales of English wine at The Wine Society have 'gone bananas' in the last few months, according to buyer Matthew Horsley. Bacchus is probably the most well-known white grape used for still wines in England, offering a fresh and aromatic character, with elderflower, hedgerow fragrance and some lime citrus zestiness. This bottling from the great 2020 vintage has 4.7g/L residual sugar to round out the palate, and is an easy-drinking alternative to Sauvignon Blanc that isn't too pungent.
