Blanc de Blancs 2016

Light gold hue and a fine, delicate mousse. Aromas of freshly squeezed lemon, pink apple and white blossom lead into alluring notes of shortbread and crème fraiche. Fresh orchard and citrus fruits follow through on the palate, where they are accompanied by ripe greengage and an unmistakable flinty, mineral character. The finish is long, creamy and complex, with a touch of salinity

Nyetimber uses only its own grapes from its own vineyards, each of which was deliberately selected to be south-facing with either sand or chalk soils. All Nyetimber vineyards are located in the lee of the South Downs which affords them shelter from the coastal winds. Prior to harvest, the grapes are tasted to ensure the best flavour development before picking. Every single grape is picked by hand at the optimal time, a decision that is made on a parcel by parcel basis.
