hello,
last sunday we tasted an sparkling wine...bevor go further i have to
say we're living in england since 6 weeks & i don't know the market
very well. the wine costs 19 £ which is a good price for - example -
a champagne. all the good known labels starts up from ca. 22
£.....thats what i found so far. now this one was a vintage sparkling
wine from 1996....chardonnay dominated plus pinot meunier & pinot
noir. the wine was really good...like a typicall chardonnay dominated
sparkling wine....racy....good length....complexy structure...yellow
fruits apard with green granny smith apples.....very fine toasty
notes....and have the potential for another 2-3 years & if you like
matured sparkling wines also for 4-5 years.

it was an english sparkling wine...i was you can say shocked about
the absolute great quality.....there is no question to compare it
with excellent sparkling wines from champagne...franciacorta...ect.

1996 nyetimber,brut classic blend, traditional method, from west
sussex. do anyone knows this wine ?

regards sigi
