Lemon curd, white peach, toasted brioche and crushed oyster shell.

Cool, precise and laser-focused, with stone fruit and a chalky minerality woven through the mid-palate.
Finish
Saline, persistent, and built to age.

Vineyard & Region

Site

West Chiltington & Upperton, West Sussex; Goring & Crampmoor, Hampshire

Soil

Greensand and chalk

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.
