- SPUMANTE BRUT BLANC DE BLANCS NYETIMBER 2016 DESCRIPTION
- The Brut Blanc de Blancs Millesimato represents the first style of English Sparkling Wine produced by Nyetimber at the dawn of the winery's history : it was the early 1990s and the property still belonged to Stuart and Sandy Moss, the couple from Chicago who started planting the vineyards in 1988. Therefore, the cuvée representing a single vintage has always been vinified with pure Chardonnay and a long rest on the yeasts: an elegant sparkling wine, woven with complexity and delicacy, is a perfect choice to toast the realization of an idea, as these pioneers did of the classic English method.
- The Brut Blanc de Blancs is made by Nyetimber with only Chardonnay grapes from the plots located in West Sussex and Hampshire, in the geographical area of South Down, the gentle slopes facing the sea that do not exceed 200 meters above sea level. The soils are made up of the typical and highly sought
- after elements by those who grow grapes for sparkling wine bases, namely chalk in a very high percentage within a sandy and draining matrix. The harvest is done by hand, with immediate transport of the bunches to the cellar and subsequent destemming. Fermentation takes place in a temperature
- controlled steel tank and after the second fermentation in the bottle the sparkling wine rests on its yeasts for approximately 60 months. The final dosage is equal to 9.5 grams per litre.
- The Brut Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine created by Nyetimber has a visually elegant impact, dressed in a brilliant golden yellow and illuminated by an effervescence composed of very fine and extremely persistent bubbles. On the nose it is a triumph of dense and comfortable aromas: the vivifying notes of ripe lemon are immediate, linked to the white floral and aromatic notes of honeysuckle, while the subtle buttery sensations of brioche and the spicy ones of vanilla gradually emerge from the background. ™assaggio is the confirmation of an elegant celebration, where hints of lemon cream blend with a fruity white peach: a dynamic and crunchy freshness balances the sip, accompanied by a subtle yet very long mineral presence. A Chardonnay for a grand evening that can be imagined on steamed spider crab or tartlets based on vegetables and creamy sauces.
