Nyetimber's history has been colourful, its vinous ownership having passed from the American Stuart Moss, via the flamboyant pop impresario Andy Hill to the Dutch entrepreneur Eric Heerema. In the more distant past its decorative Manor House was built by Henry VIII for Anne of Cleves, although she never actually took ownership, thanks, famously, to Holbein's pictorial exaggeration of her charms. The far more charming Cherie Spriggs is now firmly at the helm making the wines at Nyetimber.
The 2010 has aromas of citrus peel, brioche, and delicate floral notes. The palate reveals a core of fresh citrus fruit, layers of biscuit complexity, a mineral spine, and a fine mousse. An elegant wine with great intensity and a persistent finish.
