Nyetimber 1086 Prestige Cuvée 2010 — the pinnacle of English sparkling wine, aged at least seven years on the lees.
From Nyetimber's vineyards in the South Downs — a wine estate whose name reaches back to the 11th century — the 1086 is the house's prestige cuvée. Grapes from select plots are made by the traditional method and aged at least seven years on the lees for exceptional depth.
Full-bodied and elegant, with delicate, persistent bubbles and a luxurious mouthfeel. Ripe orchard fruit meets toasted brioche and a fine mineral thread, with high acidity keeping it precise.
