Nyetimber Classic Cuvée NV, Sussex

Since the very first vines were planted, Nyetimber’s aim is to produce the finest English Sparkling wine there is.  Nyetimber is in the fortunate position to own one hundred percent of their vineyards and all their wines are produced from their 170 hectares planted at quality sites in West Sussex and Hampshire. Nyetimber’s vineyards were the first to be devoted exclusively to the trinity of Champagne grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir.

The Classic Cuvée is a lovely pale gold English sparkling with fine gentle bubbles. Toasty, spicy and complex aromas show wonderful development after more than three years on lees in their cellar. Complex aromas are followed through on the palate with honey, almond, pastry and baked apple flavours. Very fine and elegant with a great combination of intensity, delicacy and length.
