Nyetimber Classic Cuvée Sparkling 2006

Nyetimber Classic Sparkling 2006.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS:
June, when flowering occurs, brought lovely dry days with moderate temperatures resulting in a good crop. The summer was one of the warmest on record and autumn, the crucial time for ripening grapes, was above average and the grapes were pressed with excellent maturity during October.

WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES:
Produced from a mixture of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, this Classic Cuvée displays tiny bubbles in a light golden hue.
The aroma of sweet fruits such as peaches and apricots are strong and fresh. Ginger and vanilla contribute a further layer of interest.
The palate has a sweet fruity start with strong intensity of flavour which combined with delicate bubbles fill the mouth. Flavours of roasted almonds and baked peach are also present. The high fruit intensity lingers on a long and fresh finish.
