Nyetimber Classic Cuvée 2003 West Sussex, England, Sparkling Wine

Award Winner Bin Number: 036825
More than 5 cases / 60 bottles in stock

An excellent English sparkling wine made from champagne grape varieties.

The climate and geological soil structure is similar to Champagne. Also, the original owners used grapes, equipment and a consultant winemaker all hailing from Champagne. Possibly England's best wine.

In the press:

"...The sensations in the mouth start with a fresh flash of acidity that broadens out like an estuary, ripe, welcoming and soft. Then it takes a more serious turn, becoming eye-wateringly intense, like biting into freshly picked redcurrants. If I hadn't known, I would have mistaken it for a champagne..."
Joe Wadsack, The Guardian, 1 February 2010 (2003 vintage)
