2009 Nyetimber Classic Cuvee 75CL
TASTING NOTES:
|
A world-renowned English Sparkling Wine. Their vineyards share similar characteristics with the best sparkling wine vineyards in the world. Green sand and chalk soils allow the vines, in each of their separate sites, to flourish across the south of England. Using only estate-grown grapes from their own vineyards ensures that only the finest fruit is used to craft globally acclaimed Nyetimber wines.
The Head Winemaker, Cherie Spriggs, and her Winemaker husband Brad Greatrix assess each handpicked vineyard individually – from choosing the optimal time to harvest the grapes and supervising their gentle pressing to eventual vinification. They craft all their wines at Nyetimber according to the traditional method, ageing them for extended periods of time to build complexity and flavour, and allowing for generous post-disgorgement time before release.
Their flagship Cuvee, the signature wine of Nyetimber is a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier and is a perfect balance of elegance and intensity. The blend includes wines from all their vineyards and also from several vintages.
