Nyetimber1086Rose2010

<p>Nyetimber “1086” Prestige Cuvée Rosé, EnglishSparklingWine, West Sussex, England, 2010The top of the range rosé wine from Nyetimber, using a blend of 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir, is silky and elegant with a pure crystalline backbone. Red fruits, floral and pastry notes are a result of many years ageing on the lees.Critic’s Tasting Note:”Disgorged in June 2016 with eight grams per liter dosage, the 2010 1086 Vintage Rosé is showing well, unwinding in the glass with a youthfully reticent bouquet of dried flowers and delicate hints of red berries and gingerbread. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, tight-knit and chalky, with fine-boned phenolic structure, racy acids and a nicely defined finish. Like its white counterpart from the 2009 vintage, it’s impressively complete, but the 2010 Rosé is a bit more introverted and needs a bit of time in the cellar to blossom.” 91+/100 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, April 2020Food Match: The supple texture of the wine makes it perfect with salmon, langoustine, and crab, or chicken, guinea fowl and duck.Nyetimber 1086 Rose, English Sparkling Wine 2010</p>
