Nyetimber 1086 Rosé Prestige Cuvée 2016
Wild strawberry, red apple and freshly baked brioche; a lingering finish
The 1086 Rosé Prestige Cuvée 2016 from Nyetimber is at the pinnacle of English Sparkling Wine. With only the best grapes selected from their extensive sites, the ingredients and techniques provide the foundation for an exceptional wine. The 2016 vintage exudes both elegance and complexity, showcasing an almost perfect growing season. Wild strawberry, red apple and floral aromas meet chantilly cream and hints of freshly baked brioche, entwined together in a lingering finish. This is a wine of extraordinary character and grace.
England’s first traditional method sparkling wine producer, Nyetimber were instrumental in starting the English sparkling wine revolution and today are amongst the most celebrated, and best known, of English wine producers. Based in West Sussex (the Nyetimber estate was mentioned in the Doomsday book) Nyetimber’s perfect greensand and chalk soils allow its vines, in each of its nine separate sites, to flourish across the three counties of Sussex, Hampshire and Kent. The gently south-facing slopes that the vines call home allow for the best possible exposure to the English sunshine, ensuring the grapes achieve the optimum level of ripeness before harvest. Nyetimber only produces sparkling wines, which range from their celebrated multi-vintage cuvée to their illustrious 1086 cuvées, which are amongst the most rarefied and lauded English wines.
