Sommeracher Bacchus semi-dry

Bacchus is Franconia's aromatic answer to summer: a cross between Silvaner, Riesling, and Müller-Thurgau, which reaches a rare level of ripeness on limestone soils in Sommerach am Main. Vinified as a semi-dry wine, with enough residual sweetness to support the tropical fruitiness – without becoming heavy.

Winzer Sommerach is one of the largest winegrowers' cooperatives in Franconia, supported by around 330 members. Their vineyards around the Katzenkopf slope are among the sunniest in the region. The limestone soil here shapes the minerality, and the south-facing slope ensures fully ripened aromas, even in a grape variety that can quickly become unstable.

In the glass, the Bacchus displays aromas of mango and papaya, along with elderflower, which steers the fruity character in a floral direction. The palate is fresh, the acidity lively, the residual sweetness well-integrated – no cloying sensation, but a soft, pleasant finish.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Bacchus from Winzer Sommerach taste like?

Tropical fruit is in the foreground: mango, papaya, plus elderflower. The residual sugar is integrated, not sticky — the lively acidity keeps the wine fresh and light.

Is the Bacchus really semi-dry — or does it taste sweet?

Semi-dry in the classic sense: the residual sugar carries the fruit without becoming too heavy. Those accustomed to dry wines will find it pleasantly fresh, not sweetish.

What does the Bacchus pair best with?

Very well with Asian cuisine with coconut milk or light spice, with summer salads, goat cheese, and tarte flambée with crème fraîche. Also a good choice as an aperitif or an uncomplicated after-work wine.

At what temperature should I serve it?

Best at 8–10 °C — i.e., well-chilled from the fridge, let it stand for a few minutes before pouring. Served too warm, it loses its freshness.

How long does an opened bottle keep?

Sealed and stored in the fridge, the Bacchus will keep for about two to three days after opening. The aromas are most lively on the first day.

Winzer Sommerach

Winzer Sommerach is the oldest winegrowers' cooperative in Franconia – founded in 1901 by 35 winegrowing families who joined forces to survive during a time of phylloxera infestation and plummeting prices. Today, 90 families carry on this tradition, cultivating around 200 hectares on the Main River loop and tending the Sommeracher Katzenkopf vineyard, one of the most important sites in the region. Their motto, "High standards make the difference," is not just a slogan: every bottle can be traced back to a specific winegrower and their vineyard – transparency and community as a lived principle for over 120 years.
