The White, Bacchus & Pinot Blanc, Balfour Winery
The Bacchus grape variety is not well known the world over but is fast establishing as a grape best suited to Britain’s cooler vineyards. This refreshingly light wine blends Bacchus with better known cool-climate varietal, Pinot Blanc, and will pleasantly surprise you with how far English white wine making has come in recent years.

Based in the picturesque Kent countryside, Balfour have been producing award-winning English wines for close to 20 years. In addition to their premium fizz collection, co-founders Richard and Leslie Balfour-Lynn have championed homegrown still wine – and this refreshing white blend is proof that their dedication has paid off. Using hand-picked grapes from their Hush Heath Estate vineyards, it combines the aromatic, floral character of Bacchus with the ripe stone-fruit flavours of Pinot Blanc – think elderflower, gooseberry, peach and nectarine.
Balfour Winery is not certified as organic, but it is a founding member of the Sustainable Wines of Great Britain (SWGB) certification scheme.
While organic certification specifically prohibits the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, the SWGB scheme focuses on a broader range of environmental objectives in both the vineyard and the winery.
SWGB Sustainability Practices:
Balfour Winery is deeply committed to sustainable and environmentally responsible practices, adhering to the exacting standards of the SWGB scheme, covering soil health, the reduction and optimization of pesticide inputs, energy and water conservation, and carbon footprint reduction.
Rewilding and Biodiversity: The estate includes 400 acres of vineyards, apple orchards, wildflower meadows, and ancient oak woodlands. Balfour has dedicated swathes of land to rewilding projects to support local flora and fauna.
Vegan: All Balfour wines are 100% vegan, meaning no animal products were used in the production process. They use cold settling instead of fining agents like egg white or gelatin to clarify the wine.
