Nyetimber Classic Cuvee Brut 1996 Vintage English Sparkling
Image
Sparkling wine from the renowned Nyetimber estate in the English county of West Sussex, made in the style - and same, traditional process- of Champagne, from France.
Classic Cuvee is made from a blend of 55-65% Chardonnay, 30-40% Pinot Noir and 5-15% Pinot Meunier and includes 20-35% reserve wines. Produced from estate grown grapes from West Sussex & Hampshire.
Of all non-Champagne sparkling wines, many of those produced in the south of England come closest in terms of style and quality. With similarities in soils and climates, grape varieties (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) which grow well, and method of production, it is natural that flavour will follow also.
