Description

Chapel Down Kit's Coty Bacchus | Award-Winning English White Wine

From Chapel Down's 95-acre Kit's Coty vineyard on the North Downs of Kent, this Kit's Coty Bacchus is one of England's most celebrated white wines — winner of Gold and Best Bacchus Trophy at the Wine GB Awards 2021, Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2021 and Silver at the International Wine Challenge 2021. Harvested by hand in late September and wild-fermented in third and fourth-use French oak barrels for nine months, it has a richness and complexity that sets it well apart from the standard English white wine offer. Grown on free-draining chalk soils with a southerly aspect that captures sunshine all year.

Tom's Note: My absolute go-to white wine for any occasion — simply delicious. Delicate oak aromas and a wonderful freshness. Seriously good.

Tasting Notes

Ripe and expressive on the nose with lychee, white peach and ripe melon, with a subtle background of oak from the barrel fermentation. The palate is rich and generous with tropical fruit flavours — more opulent than the Tenterden Estate — and a long, crisp finish with lingering mineral depth.

Technical Details

Food Pairing

Exceptional with grilled fish, lobster, crab and scallops. Also outstanding alongside our Artisanal Cheeses — particularly Baron Bigod and Tunworth for a premium English board.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Kit's Coty special?

Kit's Coty is a 95-acre single vineyard on the North Downs of Kent — one of England's finest wine-growing sites. The southerly aspect captures sunshine throughout the growing season, and the free-draining chalk soils produce grapes with excellent natural acidity and mineral character. The vineyard's restricted yields and careful canopy management ensure fruit quality that can genuinely compete with the best whites from anywhere in the world.

How does oak fermentation affect the wine?

Wild fermentation in French oak barrels adds texture, complexity and a subtle spice and creaminess that stainless steel cannot replicate. At Kit's Coty, only third and fourth-use barrels are used — old enough that the oak influence is subtle rather than dominant. The result is a wine with more body and richness than a tank-fermented Bacchus, while retaining the grape's natural aromatic freshness.

How does this compare to the Tenterden Estate Bacchus?

The Tenterden Estate is the fresh, aromatic, tank-fermented expression — vibrant, citrus-driven and ideal for everyday drinking. Kit's Coty is the premium single-vineyard version — richer, more complex, oak-fermented and with greater aging potential. Both are exceptional; Kit's Coty is the step up for a special occasion.

How should I serve it?

Serve chilled at 10–12°C — slightly warmer than a standard white wine to allow the oak-derived complexity to show. It benefits from 15–20 minutes out of the fridge before serving. Can be drunk now or cellared for 3–5 years with confidence.

Do you offer next-day delivery?

Yes — order before 11am Tuesday to Friday for next-day delivery across the UK mainland. Free delivery on orders over £95, otherwise £6.50.

Shipping & Storage Information

Shipping

We offer standard delivery services Wednesday - Saturday, the cut off point for next day delivery is 11am. Orders placed after this time can be scheduled for the day after, onwards.

Our boxes are designed to keep the chilled products at the right temperature for up to 72 hours from the time they leave our cold store. Boxes leave us at approximately 4pm each day and are then out for delivery between 8am to 6/7pm so are generally in transit for around 24 hours.

We strongly advise customers to download the DPD app for updates and to organise your "Safe Place" for where the delivery driver can leave your parcel in the event that you are not at your address.

Our deliveries are made on a "no signature required" basis. In the event that nobody is available to take delivery of your order at your delivery address or you ask us to leave your goods unattended at a secure place, Thomas joseph Butchery rejects all liability that may arise in consequence of the delivery being left unattended, including, without limitation, theft, tampering or contamination, however caused. It is your responsibility to be in on the day of delivery and have put in place arrangements for the delivery if you are not going to be at the address. To avoid any unforeseen issues, customers must add "delivery instructions" for where to leave the parcel, at the checkout stage.

The boxes do not need to be signed for but if there is nowhere to leave them, they will be taken back to the depot and you may need to collect the following day or accept delivery on the second day. If delivery is attempted and you are not there on day one we assume no liability after this first initial delivery attempt.

Delivery addresses must be put in correctly by the customer at the checkout. We do not assume any responsibility for goods sent to addresses that are not put in correctly and we do not alter any addresses unless asked specifically to do so by the customer in question either by email or over the phone, this must be done 24 hours before delivery. We hold no responsibility or liability for any goods sent to incorrect addresses that have been organised with our courier by the customer during transit, again it is the customer’s full responsibility to put in an address that is correct.

One hour delivery slots will be sent on the delivery date but no exact time can be given. While our courier does its best to deliver within the timeslot, delays may occasionally occur and claims cannot be made for deliveries received within 48 hours. We recommend choosing a delivery date at least one day ahead of when your order is required to avoid any potential disappointment.

If you have any special requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01277 373 656.

Storage

90% of our products are cut fresh and vacuum packed to give you as long a shelf life as possible, you will have 7 days from the packing date within which to use the meat. All vacuum packed products are issued with a use-by date and must be kept at 4 degrees or below once received. If you would like your products wrapped in paper, please just let us know during checkout.

The use-by-dates for paper wrapped products are as follows:
Beef, Lamb and Pork cuts: 3 days
Chicken, sausages, burgers and mince: 2 days

Our aim is for you to have the best meat products, delivered directly to your door. With that in mind, we’ve put together a simple go-to guide on what to do once you hear the doorbell ring.

Unpack. We recommend placing your products on a baking rack in your fridge. Allowing the air to get to your meat will keep them from sweating and discourage bacteria growth. If vacuum packed, take your meat out the day before you want to use it.
Store. Keep your meat away from other food, if you can, treat yourself to a whole shelf.
Freeze. Freeze on the day of purchase and if vacuum packed, keep them that way. If not, place them in a bag with as little air as possible, try a zip-loc bag and squeeze out the air as you fasten it. Use within 6 months.
Defrost. Defrosting in the fridge is the optimum way to go. Allow 24 hours and use within 24 hours of being defrosted.
Enjoy. Go fourth and enjoy your wonderful meat! Don’t forget to take a snap and post it on insta or facebook and if you’re really happy, go tell your friends and leave us a review on google :).
