Nose

Crystallised ginger, brioche, white truffle, beeswax and toasted hazelnut.

Palate

Dense and vinous; the bead is ultra-fine, the texture creamy, the flavours layered through orchard fruit, dried citrus and savoury autolytic notes.

Finish

Astonishingly long, with a slow, evolving complexity.

• 01White truffle on tagliolini
• 02Aged hard cheeses
• 03Simply roasted poultry
• 04Drink it on its own, fully

West Sussex sits on a sweep of greensand and chalk geologically continuous with the Champagne region across the Channel. The cool maritime climate gives a long, slow growing season — the foundation of every Nyetimber wine.

Only declared in exceptional years. Hand-selected parcels of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, fermented in part in oak, aged on lees in excess of eight years.
