Sparkling Blanc de Blanc

Twelfth Night.

Oof. English bubs, I think I like you.

Pretty amazing British bubbles. Good age on this. Golden in colour. Nice structure and acid... rich yeast toast apples.

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?

It's not often a wine has more acidity than champagne, but here's one. Could do with some more sugar to balance that acidity, but there are still lovely complex aromas of apples, pears, and brioche.

Green apple, caramel, zesty acid. One of the loveliest English sparklers I've had to date.

My favourite sparkling to date! Fit for a special occasion, my first Mother’s Day!

Now it’s well aged and drinking like a mature champagne! BD dinner with David Cindy Mark families.

This is very good, but at this price point and given the hype…

Errr, well, classic champagne, I’ve missed you. I didn’t realize you’d moved north.
