Featured Wine

Sparkling English Wines

Nyetimber Tillington Single Vineyard 2013

Emergent aromas of wild strawberries and raspberries, flavours of toasted almonds, pastry and praline

As the fine bubbles rise to the top of this pale gold wine, aromas of wild strawberries and raspberries emerge and are reminiscent of British summer fruits. On the palate, this delicate fruit is accompanied by complex flavours of toasted almonds, pastry and praline. This most premium of English Sparkling Wines balances elegance and richness in perfect harmony, with refreshing acidity and a textured, decadent finish. In 2013 budburst occurred at the end of April, about two weeks later than average due to cool temperatures in March and April, and the cool temperatures continued through June. Flowering started in the second week of July, and a great fruit set was observed two weeks later, thanks to a warm and dry month. The second half of the season, from August onwards, was moderate and fine, enabling the fruit to ripen gradually. Harvest started on 8th October and finished on the 24th. A late burst of warmth that month allowed Nyetimber to bring in nicely balanced grapes.
