Nyetimber Cuvee Cherie Demi Sec Sparkling NV

Nyetimber Cuvée Cherie, Demi Sec Sparkling NV, South England 

Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay from Nyetimber's vineyards in West Sussex and Hampshire, 5 years' ageing on lees, 38g/L residual sugar

Producer Tasting Note:

Light golden hues and a slight silver undertone illuminate this delicately sparkling wine. Aromas of pure lemon, mineral and honey tones and a hint of tangerine fill the nose. The palate has a lively sweet lemon start set off by a crisp acidity and a very clean, pure structure, the finish is minerally and citrus filled.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"The freshness and fruit of green and yellow apples combines on the nose. The palate takes this theme further to present both Granny Smith freshness and Golden Delicious roundedness. The palate is poised with fine, creamy mousse but softened by generous dosage. Along with the vivid apple fruit this coalesces into a creamy, fresh, acutely balanced style of fizz that speaks of clarity, sophistication and richness. The finish is off-dry and long.

94/100 points, Anne Krebiehl MW, WINE ENTHUSIAST, November 2019

"Pure and drop-fresh nectar with notes of peach, tropical juice, toast, almonds and walnuts. Ends with a nice balance between sweetness and acidity.”
