1086 by Nyetimber Rosé 2013

The pinnacle expression of rosé, our 2013 vintage exudes both elegance and complexity, showcasing a growing season characterised by a cool, fresh start, a long ripening period and a warm autumn. 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.

West Sussex

Nyetimber uses only its own grapes from its own vineyards, each of which was deliberately selected to be south-facing with greensand and 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.

Each vineyard parcel is treated uniquely, from picking to gently pressing to vinification in separate tanks. Such attention to detail allows for a wonderful diversity of base wines when blending decisions are made in the spring following the harvest. All wines are crafted according to the strict rules of the traditional method, aged for extended periods of time on the lees and given sufficient post-disgorgement time before release.

A minimum of 60 months on lees
