DESCRIPTION
A flavoursome and characterful English sparkling rosé from vineyards along the South Downs.
The lowdown:
Nyetimber go to great care with their sparking rosé, it's made with vines specifically intended for rosé production. Blended in a dark room to avoid the winemaker being influenced by colour it's all about flavour with this one. The colour is a beautiful sunset pink and its aromas include a charming mix of fresh red fruits along with a hint of anise and lavender. On the palate it has a creamy, round texture with refreshing redcurrant, raspberry and cherry flavours while towards the finish there are hints of brioche as it signs off in an elegant, silky manner.
When to drink:
A darker, richer style than rosé Champagne, it's certainly more than an aperitif.
PRODUCER
Nyetimber Estate

Nyetimber is based in West Chiltington in the heart of West Sussex, on what is regarded as a perfect site for the production of sparkling wine. The estate was established in 1988, with just over 14 hectares planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Ever increasing demand for Nyetimbers sparkling wines led to considerable vineyard expansion from 2006 onwards. Nyetimber now has several carefully selected vineyards across Sussex, Hampshire and Kent, with a total of 160 hectares under vine.
The estate is owned by Dutchman Eric Hereema who, alongside winemaker Cherie Spriggs, has installed an impressive cellar. All their grapes are estate-grown and pressed parcel by parcel by a Magnum press imported from Épernay in Champagne. Nyetimbers vineyard holdings are planted mostly over limestone, which is favoured for its good drainage and low vigour. The vines are rigorously managed to ensure excellent flavour concentration and de-leafing is carried out to maximise the exposure of the grapes to sunlight. Cherie Spriggs won the IWC sparkling Winemaker of the Year in 2018. She is the first winemaker outside of Champagne and the first woman to achieve this impressive accolade.
