Estate Grown Dry Bacchus

Chaberton Estate Winery
2025 Estate Grown Dry Bacchus
Fraser Valley, British Columbia VQA
Vibrant and precise, the 2025 Estate Grown Dry Bacchus is crafted to showcase the aromatic potential of this unique varietal while maintaining a clean, refreshing structure. Grown on our estate vineyards in the Fraser Valley, this vintage leans toward a drier, mineral-driven style while still offering the expressive aromatics Bacchus is known for.
Brief skin contact enhances aromatic intensity and texture, followed by a slow, cool fermentation to preserve delicate fruit character. A short period of lees aging builds subtle weight on the palate without sacrificing freshness.
