2025 Wiesenhummel

Tasting

Meadow bumblebees go where the flowers are, and Bacchus smells like a meadow in May. So from 2025 our Bacchus pét-nat carries their name, and a new label. We've made it since 2016, whenever the harvest played along. Because Bacchus is a diva. Frost, sunburn, disease, it takes offence at everything, and yields jump around from year to year. In 2025 we picked early so its lavish aromatics would have enough freshness beside them. A third spent six days on the skins, the rest was pressed directly. It finishes fermenting in the bottle and isn't disgorged; the yeast stays in. Flowers, tropical fruit, dry and lively, a bit of grip from the skins and soft bubbles. 10.5 % alcohol. A wine that's fun and doesn't insist you talk about it.
