Nyetimber, Rosé, West Sussex, England, United Kingdom, 2007

The very first Nyetimber made from grape to glass by Canadian winemaker Cherrie Spriggs. I’ve followed this from pre-release, when it was so clearly in a class of its own that I ordered the first case ever sold. Since then I’ve enjoyed it many times and it has always been a dream wine, with delicate soft and orchard fruit balanced on a knife-edge of pure English acidity (25% Pinot Noir, 75% Chardonnay).
