Nyetimber Blanc De Blancs 2016

Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs is a sparkling wine crafted from vineyards in West Sussex and Hampshire, England. These regions boast chalky and flinty soils similar to those of Champagne, France, along with a cool climate that is ideal for cultivating Chardonnay.

This Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay, showcasing the grape's finesse and bright acidity. The wine is crafted in a classic sparkling style, offering a balance of elegance, complexity, and freshness that highlights its pure varietal expression.

The wine undergoes traditional method production, with a secondary fermentation in the bottle and over four years of lees ageing. This extended maturation period enhances its complexity and adds a creamy texture while preserving the vibrant fruit and mineral characteristics.

Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs 2016 displays a light gold hue and a fine, delicate mousse. The nose is enticing, with aromas of freshly squeezed lemon, pink apple, and white blossom, complemented by notes of shortbread and crème fraîche. On the palate, fresh orchard and citrus fruits are joined by ripe greengage and a distinct flinty minerality. The wine concludes with a long, creamy finish, marked by complexity and a subtle touch of salinity.

This sparkling wine pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, including white crab, Dover sole, and mussels. Serving temperature 8-10°C.
