Classic Cuvée

Nose

Toasted brioche, honeyed almond, baked apple and a wisp of orange peel.

Palate

A fine, persistent mousse carries flavours of preserved lemon and salted hazelnut over a chalk-driven core.

Finish

Long and saline, with a savoury, almost umami persistence that defines the house style.

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.

Whole-bunch pressed, fermented in stainless steel with a portion in older oak. Aged a minimum of three years on lees before disgorgement.
