2004 Nyetimber Classic Cuvée

2004 Nyetimber Classic Cuvée English sparkling wine, case of six bottles.

This is a celebrated English vintage from the prestigious Nyetimber estate in West Sussex. Their wines have received international acclaim, with their premium sparkling whites likened to those of Champagne. Their exceptional wines are an expression of the advantageous terroir, and The Classic Cuvée is the unique expression of the Nyetimber estate.

This particular product is created from the delicate white Chardonnay grape together with black Pinot Noir and Pinot Meniur fruit. Expert blending or 'assemblage' is applied to create a sublime structure and complexity in each vintage. The Cuvée is suitably produced using classic methods, involving secondary fermentation in the bottle before ageing within for at least three years.

The 2004 Nyetimber Classic Cuvée displays a gently spiralling set of bubbles through a pale golden hue. Sweet pastry, baked lemon, bread dough and white peach contribute to a pleasing aroma. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a core of grapefruit, lime leaves and minerality with the bubbles bringing roundness to the wine. This 2004 Nyetimber vintage is ready to drink, but may be kept maturing.
