Nyetimber
Sparkling Blanc de Blanc
West Sussex, England
Recently disgorged 1992, the first commercial vintage of Nyetimber and one for the top wines from the NEWTS dinner last night. Fine brioche and apples, with poised mousse and a very long finish; acidity balanced with faint hint of sweetness (don't know the dose age but expect 7-8g). Very good indeed... Perhaps it's time to reassess my position on English sparkling wine?

Loved this trip into the past of English sparklers. Nyetimber continues to impress me.
