More Information

Bacchus 2023, Giffords Hall Vineyard, Suffolk, England

Fresh, aromatic and distinctly English, Giffords Hall Bacchus 2023 is a beautifully expressive white wine from the heart of Suffolk. Made from estate-grown Bacchus grapes, it showcases the variety’s natural aromatic intensity, combining fragrant elderflower and crisp citrus with refreshing acidity and a delicate herbaceous character. The grapes come from vines over 30 years old, rooted in the distinctive soils of Giffords Hall Vineyard. Situated near Hartest in West Suffolk, the estate benefits from an ancient glacial riverbed, whose varied soils and local growing conditions contribute to the character of its wines. The 2023 grapes were carefully hand-picked and fermented at a controlled temperature of 16°C in stainless-steel tanks. This gentle, temperature-controlled approach helps preserve the grape’s delicate floral aromas and vibrant fruit character, resulting in a fresh, clean and expressive wine. In the glass, it displays a pale straw colour with a subtle greenish tint. The nose is lifted and fragrant, revealing elderflower, gooseberry, freshly cut grass and nettle, alongside bright notes of lime and grapefruit. On the palate, crisp acidity brings energy and freshness, while citrus, floral and green-fruit flavours create an elegant, refreshing finish. Dry, light to medium-bodied and wonderfully versatile, this is an excellent example of contemporary English white winemaking. Enjoy it as an aperitif or alongside fresh seafood, grilled prawns, goat’s cheese, asparagus and lightly spiced Asian dishes.

Giffords Hall Vineyard is a family-run English wine estate located near Hartest in West Suffolk, between Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury. The historic farm has a long agricultural heritage, with its origins documented as far back as 1408.

The first vines were planted in 1986, and the Giffords Hall wine label was introduced in 2009 with the release of its first Bacchus and Rosé wines. Since then, the estate has developed a reputation for producing characterful still and sparkling English wines.

The vineyard’s location on an ancient glacial riverbed provides a distinctive growing environment, with sandy loam and gravel soils contributing to the site’s natural drainage. The estate cultivates a range of grape varieties, including Bacchus, Rondo, Madeleine Angevine, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc.

Giffords Hall follows a minimal-intervention philosophy and participates in the Sustainable Wines of Great Britain initiative, with an emphasis on responsible vineyard management and preserving the surrounding natural environment.

Combining English winemaking tradition with a contemporary approach to quality and sustainability, Giffords Hall produces wines that express the individuality of Suffolk’s vineyards and the character of the English climate.
