Flavour Profile
Vivid and aromatic on the nose — elderflower, gooseberry, lime zest, and a wild herbal quality that's unmistakably English. The combination of carbonic maceration and extended skin contact gives this wine real texture and depth for a sparkling white, with hedgerow fruit on the palate and a chalky, mineral backbone running all the way through. The natural fizz keeps it lifted and fresh, while the finish is dry, pithy, and genuinely moreish.
About Matt Gregory
Matt Gregory makes his wines from Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Bacchus grown in the Leicestershire Wolds, with an emphasis on careful grape handling and minimal intervention — no fining, no filtering, and wild yeasts throughout. Matt Gregory Wines His vineyard sits on a long south-facing slope with a bedrock of 200-million-year-old Jurassic limestone, overlain with glacial deposits of flint and ironstone Matt Gregory Wines — soils that give his wines their distinctive mineral edge. After two decades as a wine merchant and winemaking stints in Sussex and New Zealand, Gregory developed a natural, hands-off approach that lets the terroir do the talking.
About Bacchus
Bacchus is England's most celebrated aromatic white grape — a cross of Riesling and Silvaner that thrives in the cool English climate. It's known for its intensely floral, hedgerow character: elderflower, blackcurrant leaf, gooseberry, and fresh herbs. In the right hands, and on the right soils, it produces whites that are genuinely world-class. This is one of those.
How to pair it
Its aromatic intensity and textural grip make it a natural at the table. Try it with a cheese board, charcuterie, or a roast chicken. It's also brilliant with game — venison, pheasant, or pigeon — where its herbal bite and mineral backbone can stand up to the richness of the meat. Or just drink it on its own on a sunny afternoon.
