🍷🇬🇧 It’s not just a glass of white wine…

It’s Chapel Down Bacchus 2024, crafted in the heart of Kent and bursting with the vibrant character of an English summer.

Fresh aromas of elderflower, hedgerow blossom and crisp green apple give way to bright citrus notes and a beautifully refreshing finish. Chilled to perfection and served amongst the flowers, it’s sunshine in a glass.

A true celebration of English Wine Week — elegant, expressive and unmistakably British.

Join us for a glass and discover why English wine is making waves around the world. ✨
