Tasting Notes

46% Chardonnay, 43% Pinot Noir, 11% Pinot Meunier. Six years' ageing on lees. Dosage 9 g/l. Disgorged July 2016. Mytik Diam technological cork.
Tasted blind. Tiny bead. Some caramel on the nose. Rather loosely textured with some green-apple character. The wine with the highest apparent acid level – which may well be a clue as to its origins. Sweet and sour, this improved in the glass. 2017 - 2027

Disgorged in July 2016 with nine grams per liter dosage, there are some 2,600 bottles of Nyetimber's 2009 1086 Vintage. The wine has certainly turned out well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of warm biscuits, honeyed yellow orchard fruit, pastry cream and macadamia nut that mingle in a classy and understated bouquet. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and complete, with an elegantly textural attack, good depth at the core and ripe but racy structuring acids, displaying a delicate mousse and a precise, nicely defined finish. This is among the most structurally complete English sparkling wines that I've tasted to date, and the fact that this reflects the viticulture and winemaking of two decades ago offers considerable basis for optimism about how the wines being made at Nyetimber today will turn out.
