1086 by Nyetimber Rosé 2010

Nose

Blood orange, wild raspberry, cedar, gentle spice and a hint of rose hip.

Palate

Powerful yet poised; red fruits, dried citrus peel and a savoury, almost gamy depth supported by extraordinary length.

Finish

Haunting, slow-fading, with smoke and salt.

• 01Smoked lobster
• 02Wild Scottish salmon, lightly cured
• 03Roast grouse or partridge

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.

Predominantly Pinot Noir with Chardonnay for lift. Made only in declared years; aged on lees for over eight years.
