Subject: sparkling wine..what a great surprise |
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 This message was created using the Web-based forum : www.wein-plus.com/forum/ |
