Frequently asked questions

What kind of grape variety is Bacchus?

Bacchus is a German new breed from the 1930s, created from Silvaner, Riesling, and Müller-Thurgau. The variety is one of the most aromatic German white wines: elderflower, nutmeg, and ripe pear define the profile from the very first pour.

How does Bacchus wine taste?

Bacchus is intensely aromatic, fresh, and uncomplicated on the palate. Typical notes are elderflower, a hint of nutmeg, and ripe pear. The style is accessible — not a wine that needs much explanation, yet it still shows character.

Where does Bacchus mainly come from?

The variety is primarily at home in Rheinhessen and Franconia, where the climate brings out its aromatic liveliness particularly well. Smaller quantities are also produced in other German wine-growing regions.

What does Bacchus pair with at the table?

Bacchus pairs well with light summer cuisine: asparagus, goat cheese, Asian-spiced dishes, or simply an evening on the terrace. Due to its freshness and floral-fruity profile, it is also a good choice as an aperitif.

How does Bacchus differ from Riesling or Müller-Thurgau?

Riesling is more mineral and acidity-driven, Müller-Thurgau is milder and less expressive. Bacchus lies in between — aromatically more distinct than Müller-Thurgau, but more accessible and less complex than a good Riesling.

Do you drink Bacchus dry or semi-dry?

Both work well. When vinified as Semi-Dry, the fruit comes through beautifully without feeling heavy. When vinified Dry, Bacchus shows more freshness and length — depending on the occasion and personal taste.

Bacchus – the aromatic summer wine from German lands

Bacchus is one of the most charming new German grape varieties: a white wine that draws attention to itself with distinct fruitiness and an unmistakable floral-spicy scent. Typical for the variety are notes of elderberry and nutmeg, plus a fresh, lively acidity that makes the wine light and inviting. Whether semi-dry or sweet – Bacchus always wears its character openly and uncomplicatedly. That is exactly what makes it so popular as an uncomplicated wine for warm evenings or as a companion to light dishes.

Home in German wine regions

Bacchus feels particularly at home in German growing regions. The wines in our range come from Franconia – a region known for its independent, characterful white wines. Winemakers like Winzer Sommerach and Jung & Knobloch show what the variety is capable of in this area: fruity, accessible, and with regional expression.
