Nyetimber Brut Blanc de Blancs 2015
Sussex, English Sparkling Wine, 750 ml
Description
Crafted from a single vintage and given extended time on lees, this pure expression of chardonnay was the first style ever produced at Nyetimber and marked the start of their pioneering journey in the early 1990s. This English vintage sparkling wine excudes scents of citrus and honeysuckle that lead into subtle brioche and vanilla characters. The palate offers generous yet elegant notes of baked lemon and white peach with the warmth of the vintage shining through. Subtle mineral notes accentuate the fresh, crisp acidity, leading to a long and complex finish.

Nyetimber
For the last quarter-century, England has played a very special role in the world of wines – an exotic in moist and chilly northern Europe.
When you think of England you might think of umbrellas, charm, and bowler hats. Specifically umbrellas, since British weather is famously rainy. Few people know that winegrowing in England is historically documented back to the 7th century. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the climate is mild enough for certain types of grapes to grow and fully ripen. The change in climate during recent decades has brought some advantages to English winemakers, improving growth conditions and encouraging many to try their luck at winegrowing.
