Bolney Bacchus Salami
£8.00
A free range pork salami with our very own Lychgate Bacchus, in collaboration...
The majority of the fruit was crush-destemmed for aromatic extraction. Cool-fermentation then took place in stainless steel tanks for around 14 days, ensuring the retention of the primary fruit aromas. Yeast strains were selected to accentuate varietal character and elegance.
Perfectly complements white fish, hard cheeses such as cheddar, and rich pâtés. For the sweeter tooth, try with chilli dark chocolate.

This wine is popular with our fans and our Bolney team and it is easy to see why when you try it for the first time. It has all the notes of a classic Bacchus wine, with a little twist on the palate with the hint of pineapple.

One of the best white wines I’ve tasted – who’d have thought England could produce such a thing? 5 stars.
Tried the Bacchus for the first time absolutely excellent will buy more
Comparable to pouilly fume
This is a beautiful wine that is a pleasure to drink
Always well received
Excellent white I never thought British wines were so good will definitely be buying more.
A light and fruity wine that was extremely pleasant drinking. Would recommend!!
This is probably the best bacchus I have enjoyed. It has enough body to drink on its own. I matched perfectly with spaghetti vongole and a simple grilled bream dish. Well worth the price and I would definitely buy wines from this supplier again.
Wonderful light refreshing wine that is perfect with a meal or on its own. We loved it so much we will be featuring it in our Christmas graze boxes at Graze to Go
Loved this wine so much we bought it direct from the supplier! Like an easy-drinking, fruity New Zealand sauvignon.
Enjoyed this wine and look forward to ordering again as process was so efficient. Thank you
Good stuff
Very elegant, flavoursome and with pleasant balanced acidity
Attended a tasting late last year in the Cotswolds (Broadway) – this outshone the Bubbly and the Pinot Gris by a big margin. As good as, if not better than, NZ/Australian whites in terms of nose, freshness, zing and sheer enjoyability, at this price point. Remember also that you’re not paying an importer a huge % of the bottle cost in order to get it here (i.e. more of your £ goes on the quality of the wine). Try it; if you like good quality quaffable white, this is a winner.
I was given a bottle for Christmas and have just opened it .. my sort of wine crisp, fresh and fruity …simply delicious.. Thank you George and Oliver!
Found this wine at the Country Living Show – bought for Christmas and loved it!
Found this wine at County Living show ordered for Christmas and loved it.
I was lucky enough to try this at a recent tasting. England has found a good alternative to sauvignon blanc with bacchus – this example has gooseberry and passionfruit flavours and a nice long finish. I’ll certainly try it again

What a beautiful wine and it’s British. Paired with fish was outstanding. In a restaurant we visited in Lake Windermere this week. Hence the searching and purchasing more.
