Nyetimber 1086 Rosé 2013 is a vintage, prestige-cuvée English sparkling rosé produced at the Nyetimber estate in West Sussex. This prestige-cuvée rosé is crafted from carefully chosen vineyard parcels across West Sussex, and only produced in the finest vintages. The wine boasts a distinct red-fruit aroma characterised by wild strawberry and cherry notes. On the palate, hints of red apple emerge, all supported by a delightful crystalline acidity. The significant presence of Pinot Noir contributes to the wine`s body. This English sparkling wine is truly remarkable, suitable for immediate enjoyment or for cellaring for another decade or beyond. Available here in magnum format.

From a blend of Hampshire Chardonnay on chalk and West Sussex greensand Pinot Noir (including via a red wine addition), the 2013 1086 Vintage Rosé stands out above all for its fragranced, nuanced fruit from this cool and late yet pristine vintage. There are flavors of fresh apricot, fig, peach blossom and dried strawberry that are delicate in intensity yet open up to layers of ground almond and toasted bread that speak more of the decade of lees aging behind the wine. It`s a wine defined by crispness and freshness of fruit, with a little pink-grapefruit bitter twist adding some counterbalance through a beautifully settled mousse and a moderate, accessible dosage. This could develop with interest over the medium term.

The second release of Nyetimber`s top rosé. 64% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay grown on greensand and chalk. Bottled 13 May 2014. Riddling date 9 January 2020. Disgorged 12 March 2020. Made from only five base wines and with a red portion of 14%. Base wines are fermented in stainless steel, with old oak barrels used to age the blend`s red portion. From bottling to disgorging, this top cuvée spent just under six years ageing on lees and, so far, has had three and half years post disgorgement. TA 8 g/l, pH 3.2, RS 8 g/l.

Pale orangey gold – more golden than pink – with lots of small bubbles. Intense aroma that reminds me of peaches and clementine though they are slightly hidden by the richness of the yeasty but subtle autolytic character. In the mouth, this is quite powerful, very slightly tannic in its grip but just right to complement the vibrant freshness and the mature complexity of red fruits and the first signs of sweet brioche. Like brioche filled with wild strawberries but it`s an impression and only a subtle one with a long creamy aftertaste. Intensely satisfying and mouth-watering at the same time. (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.
