Estate Grown Bacchus

Chaberton Estate Winery
2025 Estate Grown Bacchus
Fraser Valley, British Columbia VQA

Bright, aromatic, and expressive, our 2025 Estate Grown Bacchus captures the vibrant character of the Fraser Valley growing season. Carefully crafted to highlight freshness and layered aromatics, this vintage offers both immediate charm and elegant complexity.

A brief skin contact prior to pressing enhanced aromatic intensity and texture, followed by a slow, cool fermentation to preserve delicate fruit character. A short period of lees aging adds roundness and depth while maintaining a lively finish.
