\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Very interested to get a chance to drink this new wine. It’s a pink fizz from one of the UK’s top sparkling wine producers, Nyetimber. This is the first Nyetimber release to be made by winemaker Cherie Spriggs, who joined in 2007. Initially, just 1500 bottles were released; the plan is to make a larger release in spring. It’s a very high quality wine, but painfully young at the moment. According to the website<\/a>, the Pinot Noir grapes that were fermented on their skins to give the colour were hand destemmed.<\/p>\n

[As an aside, I think there’s some wisdom in doing things the Champagne way for pink fizz, which is to make a batch of red wine, and blend this in separately. This is because you can use different viticulture for your red portion – go for lower yields, get better ripeness – than you would for normal Champagne, which then allows you to do extended skin contact without ending up with fierce tannins.]<\/p>\n

Nyetimber Ros\u00e9 Brut 2007 Quality Sparkling Wine, England
\n<\/strong> 12% alcohol. A really distinctive wine. Quite full pink with a salmon\/orange hue. The nose is assertive with some strawberry and raspberry notes as well as subtle toasty hints. The palate shows some strawberry\/raspberry fruit and richer toasty\/brioche hints. It\u2019s also quite grippy and tannic, and has high apparent acidity. There\u2019s a bit of richness, but also some savoury austerity. Overall, it\u2019s a dense, structured ros\u00e9 with real potential for development and great concentration of flavour. 92\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
