Nyetimber "1086" (2010 Vintage) - The Most Expensive English Sparkling Wine?

[@davidberlanny3308]

That was a cracking tasting. You had me chuckling away!! Obviously your camera asistant got the first glass I hope!! I was labouring under the thought that this winery was near the coast given that Nyetimber is in Pagham near Bognor but I did have a look a while ago and saw that they are further inland on the downs. I can remember staying at an old mill right on the coast in Galicia (just above Portuguese border) and they had there own vinyard making some decent white wines. Do enjoy an Alberiño, worth trying if you haven't already. I think you were celebrating avoiding the police yet again either that or Hedleys gateway tweed cap!! All the best!!

My wife impressively had two-and-a-bit glasses of this - she barely drinks at all normally. Her sole bit of feedback on it was "it tastes expensive"! Yes I recall noticing that other Nyetimber on the coast at one point, but yes, as you say, the vineyard is inland, near Pulborough. Well I say "the" vineyard - that's the original one, and they now source grapes from a few different sites across South East England.

@@EnglishSparklingWine Hahaha, Happy Birthday John. You'll have to celebrate Hedley's gateway tweed cap another time, perhaps under a hedge on the Ridgeway!!

Wow, that's certainly not cheap, or available in Oddbins. The 3 one pound coins on top of my electricity meter have just fainted. They want to know where their 120 mates are, they have never heard of a gathering so large. Happy Special Occasion.

"As it was a special occasion, a bit of a splurge on the wine today " What was the occasion?

There was some speculation that Morrison's well regarded 2010 Vintage is by Nyetimber. Currently available under £18 bottle if you buy 6 and use Top cashback😮
