Product Description
Nyetimber Vineyard pioneered the UK’s recent rise to fame and recognition for its ability to be taken seriously at international level. The estate was conceived, planted and equipped exclusively for the production of top-quality sparkling wines. Nyetimber owes it’s reputation (and awards) to the high quality of the fruit which emanates from this ideal site and to the fastidious and non-interventionist activity in the winery. From the heart of West Sussex, Nyetimber continues to build upon it’s reputation as the premium English sparkling wine to rival Champagne. Now the largest vineyard in the UK, the Nyetimber Estate comprises 438 acres under vine and it is the fusion of expertise in the vineyard together with highly skilled wine making that sets the wines apart. Also unique in the UK, Nyetimber is the only producer to make premium sparkling wine exclusively from estate grown fruit, thus ensuring complete control at every stage of the process.
A lovely bright straw yellow colour with hints of green and a fine bead with delicate mousse. The bouquet displays powerful flavours of lemon and baked apple, jasmine, butter and vanilla with hints of caramel and marzipan. There is a clean fresh green apple entry on the palate quickly followed by classic Chardonnay characters of baked lemon and minerals. The mousse is soft and gives a lovely delicacy to the wine. The long finish is buttery and toasty – a sophisticated and elegant wine.
