Nyetimber Blanc De Blancs 2016 (6 Bottles) West Chiltington, West Sussex, England

£348.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The newest release, the 2016 vintage, continues this legacy, showcasing vibrant citrus notes, delicate brioche undertones, and a creamy texture that reflects Nyetimber’s unwavering commitment to quality. This Blanc de Blancs is a testament to the artistry and dedication behind every Nyetimber wine.

Nyetimber’s Blanc de Blancs, crafted exclusively from a single vintage, exemplifies the pure elegance of Chardonnay. As the first style produced by Nyetimber in the early 1990s, it heralded the estate's pioneering journey into exceptional English sparkling wine. Each bottle spends extended time on lees, developing exquisite complexity and finesse.

With a delicate hint of rose gold in the glass, our Pinto Gris from 2022 is made only in the best of years. A hint of vanilla on the nose is succeeded by a palate of nectarines and almonds and culminates with a rich minerally finish.

Yotes Court ‘Two Beat Trot’ Chardonnay 2022 (6 Bottles) Maidstone, Kent, England

£192.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This Chardonnay has aromas of ripe melon, bergamot and apricot, a rich palate of butter and citrus marmalade, and a savoury toast-crunch finish. Balanced, complex and delicious.

In the Vineyard

Vines in Block 7 in the centre of the vineyard were chosen for our first Chardonnay. The vines are closely planted (5,000 vines per hectare) in soil with a distinctly sandy and rocky profile. This regulates canopy growth, lessening growth of both shoots and fruit. Lighter crops, from well ventilated, less vigorous canopies, enabled us to ripen the grapes to the desired quality level with minimal canopy intervention.

What's in the name?

'Two Beat Trot' is a dressage term for balance, making it the perfect name for our Chardonnay. Just like the elegant movement, this wine is beautifully balanced and complex.

Food Pairing

This will pair well with autumn vegetable dishes like pumpkin ravioli, roast chicken, and cheddar cheese.
