2013 Nyetimber, 1086, Prestige Cuvée, Sussex, England

Description

Only made in exceptional vintages, this is a Chardonnay-dominant blend from Nyetimber’s four very best vineyards. Three are in West Sussex, on greensand soils; one is from a pure chalk site in Hampshire. The growing year started cooler but then gave winemaker Cherie Spriggs an ideal summer and ripening period. Vinification was carefully controlled to retain fruit and terroir expression, and the wine was aged for six-and-a-half years on its lees. This is aromatically expressive and delicious, yet serious on the palate with acid details and flavoursome complexity. This is not Champagne; it is a style of its own, confidently English. It is simply one of the best wines made on UK soil that I’ve ever tasted.

About this wine

Nyetimber Vineyard

For over twenty five years Nyetimber has had a single aim: to make the finest English sparkling wine, one to rival the very best in the world, including champagne. A true pioneer, Nyetimber was the first producer of English sparkling wine to exclusively grow the three celebrated grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Each bottle of Nyetimber is made from one hundred percent estate-grown grapes. 1988, Nyetimber planted its first vines. In 1997 in a blind tasting Nyetimber's 1992 Blanc de Blancs caused a debate as to which area of France it came from. Nyetimber wines have since won rave-reviews and International medals and, have also won the admiration of members of the Royal Family and various Heads of State. Owner and Chief Executive Eric Heerema and winemaker Cherie Spriggs are committed to producing wines of exceptional quality. Nyetimber Manor is mentioned in the Domesday Book and was once home to Anne of Cleves, fourth wife of Henry VIII. 1,000 years later it is producing one of the finest sparkling wines in the world.
