Nyetimber's Classic Cuvée 2004 English Sparkling Wine with the new launched label, is the signature style from Nyetimber Vineyards based in Sussex England. The sparkling cuveé is a blend of white Chardonnay fruit and Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
Vintage dated each year, Nyetimber's winemakers draw upon this palette of base wines to create a wine of structure and complexity through the exacting process of 'assemblage', or blending.
The Classic Cuvée is produced by the traditional method - a sparkling winemaking process characterised by the use of secondary fermentation in bottle and is aged in bottle for at least three years prior to release.
“Nyetimber was the wine that first got people really excited about the potential of English fizz, and many rate it as the country’s best. The Classic Cuvée is tight and complex with a subtle toasty richness and lovely fresh citrussy fruit.”
