Nyetimber Tillington Single Vineyard 2016 originates from the Tillington vineyard, situated within the South Downs National Park. This site is characterised by its unique Cretaceous greensand geology, which affects the vine health and fruit development. The wine features a distinct autolytic quality with notes of toasty bread and ripe citrus, primarily lemon, alongside subtle hints of honeyed stone fruit. The palate presents a balance between richness and high acidity, indicative of its youthfulness. This vintage shows potential for further maturation, with a structured profile that suggests it will develop positively over the next few years. Nyetimber is noted as one of the pioneering English sparkling wine producers, established in 1988.
