NewsBy Sarah NeishDenmark Hill rail station in south London will next year release its first vintage, made from Bacchus vines grown mere metres from the train tracks.
Denmark Hill in Camberwell is about to become the first British railway station to produce a wine from vines grown on its property.
Additionally, members chose to create a vineyard housing 22 Bacchus vines, which sits near to “a mini tableau of Provence” in the form of 56 lavender plants.
Bacchus is gaining a reputation as England’s signature aromatic white grape variety, sometimes hailed as the “English Sauvignon Blanc” for its crisp acidity, and vibrant citrus notes.
