Fine stream of very small bubbles. Smells richer and more biscuity than the Blanc de Blancs 2016 just tasted. Complex and deep with less citrus and blossom, perhaps a suggestion of lime purity. Even with the high acidity, this is broad and mouth-filling, with a light suggestion of tannin adding a little grip to the creamy texture. More savoury and broader than the Blanc de Blancs, full-flavoured and brilliantly fresh. Almost chewy on the finish. Powerful, long and harmonious, the residual sugar and the acidity seem better integrated than on the Blanc de Blancs 2016. (JH)

World Class Sparkling Wine
Having planted its first vines in West Sussex in 1988, Nyetimber was one of the forerunners of the fine English sparkling wine boom, producing traditional method sparkling wines from estate-grown Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes.
Based in the village of West Chiltington in a lea of the South Downs, Nyetimber owns vineyards in West Sussex, Hampshire and Kent, where the geology and soils – principally the same chalk seam which runs under Champagne, along with greensand – are particularly suited to producing world-class sparkling wines.
Head winemaker Cherie Spriggs and her winemaker husband Brad Greatrix work with meticulous attention to detail in the vineyards to ensure optimum fruit quality, while in the cellar, extended ageing and the benefit of an extensive collection of reserve wines ensures that each bottle leaving the winery displays a complexity and finesse which makes Nyetimber a benchmark producer of English sparkling wine.
