Nyetimber Blanc De Blancs 2009
Made from estate-grown Chardonnay grapes, the 2009 is described as being “pale gold in colour with floral and lime aromas.
“On the palate, fresh citrus flavours are balanced with an underlying minerality and toasty intensity,” the Sussex producer said.
Cherie Spriggs, Nyetimber’s head winemaker, continued: “We only produce a Blanc de Blancs using fruit from the finest years, and the 2009 is no exception.
“The 2009 vintage marks a new era in how our Blanc de Blancs is crafted. As well as making the decision to reintroduce malolactic fermentation, I’ve fermented a small portion of the wine in new oak barrels, which gives an added touch of complexity.
“We have also included Chardonnay from areas of our vineyards which we haven’t used before for our Blanc de Blancs. These parcels were chosen to create a more complete and balanced wine – one that we’re all extremely proud of.”
