Nyetimber Cuvée Chérie Demi-Sec

The NV Demi-Sec from Nyetimber contains 44 grams per liter of residual sugar and comes mainly from the 2013 vintage. It has a light and rather austere bouquet with hints of dried honey, walnut and blackcurrant leaf. The palate is rounded on the entry and manages to neatly balance the sweetness of a demi-sec with the acidity. Pralines and almond define the harmonious finish with hints of apricot. It is always difficult to think of occasions where I crave a sweet sparkling wine, but I cannot deny that this is delicious and well-crafted.
