  • MV Cuvee Chérie Demi Sec, Nyetimber Wine Republic Heros Champagne & Sparkling Wine, Dessert Wine, English & Welsh Sparkling Wine

    MV Cuvee Chérie Demi Sec, Nyetimber

    £3795

    A unique English dessert sparkling wine.

    Light golden hues illuminate this delicately effervescent wine. Aromas of pure lemon and Acacia honey are followed by a hint of tangerine. The palate of lemon curd is balanced by crisp acidity and a clean, pure structure.

    With a silky texture and refined decadent feel, this is the perfect partner for creamy desserts. At only 12% abv it would also make a wonderfully risqué accompaniment to high tea.

  • NV Classic Cuvee, Nyetimber Wine Republic Heros Champagne & Sparkling Wine, English & Welsh Sparkling Wine

    NV Classic Cuvee, Nyetimber

    £4150

    The signature wine of Nyetimber is a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier and is a perfect balance of elegance and intensity. The blend includes wines from all the Nyetimber vineyards and also from several vintages.

    The pale-golden hue and fine bubbles make the flagship Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage the ideal occasion-ready drink – whether it’s toasting a big birthday or simply finishing a busy week. Following extensive ageing in the Nyetimber cellars (usually more than three years), the Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage has distinctive toasty and spicy aromas. A palate of honey, almond, pastry and baked apples gives it a hint of decadence. Intense yet delicate, elegant yet complex – it’s no wonder it’s consistently crowned one of the best English sparkling wines.

  • 2014 Blanc de Blanc, Nyetimber Wine Republic Heros Champagne & Sparkling Wine, English & Welsh Sparkling Wine

    2014 Blanc de Blanc, Nyetimber

    £5500

    This Blanc de Blancs is from the amazing 2014 vintage and shows the classic signature of delicate floral and citrus aromas followed by subtle vanilla and toast flavours, but now with a pure crystalline core thanks to the inclusion of incredible parcels of Chardonnay from Nyetimbers Hampshire vineyards. A long, complex finish.

    This is meticulously made, with the best performing parcels of Chardonnay hand-picked and fermented separately for optimal blending. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation for a richer, fuller style.  It is also aged for a longer time on the lees to develop classic brioche and vanilla aromas that are so apparent.

  • 2013 Tillington Single Vineyard, Nyetimber Wine Republic Heros Champagne & Sparkling Wine, English & Welsh Sparkling Wine

    2013 Tillington Single Vineyard, Nyetimber

    £9500

    Pale gold with fine bubbles, the nose is full of wild strawberries and raspberries, reminiscent of British summer fruits. On the palate, this delicate fruit is accompanied by complex flavours of toasted almonds, pastry and praline. The wine balances elegance and richness in perfect harmony, with refreshing acidity and a textured, decadent finish.

    The Tillington vineyard is located in the middle of the South Downs National Park, on the narrow greensand strip formed during the Cretaceous Period. The geology is of prime importance here since it has determined the characteristics of the shallow soil above – excellent underlying drainage, low natural fertility – and influences the development of the vine roots. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines grow on a south-facing slope, ranging between a 5% and 10% incline to capture the sunlight. Every operation from pruning to picking is carefully performed so that the grapes reveal the site’s uniqueness. Winemaker Cherie Spriggs describes this plot as “something really magical.”
