Enjoy a Nyetimber wine flight in the sky with British Airways i360
On the 14 October at 7pm, guests are invited to enjoy a flight of three Nyetimber English Sparkling Wines, 450 feet in the air. Onboard the British Airways i360 Pod, Zoë Dearsley, a Nyetimber Brand Ambassador, will guide lucky ticket holders through three of their award-winning cuvées.
Over an extended hour-long flight, guests are treated to panoramic views of Brighton’s coastline whilst Zoë conducts the tasting. Kicking off the trio of wines will be Nyetimber’s flagship pour, Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage. Combining Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, Classic Cuvee is a blend using wines from all of the Nyetimber vineyards, and also from several vintages. The almond, pastry and baked apple flavours make this cuvée a great place to start. This will be followed by Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs 2014, a newly launched vintage. Using only Chardonnay grapes, Blanc de Blancs is crafted from a single vintage and undergoes five years ageing on the lees. Guests should expect elegant notes of vanilla, baked lemon and white peach, with the warmth of the vintage shining through. Finally, wrapping things off on a sweeter note is Nyetimber’s Cuvee Chérie, the first demi-sec to be released from an English Sparkling Wine producer. This cuvée has the delicate sweetness of honey, coupled with pure citrus lemon and tangerine flavours.
Tickets are priced at £45, the flight will take off at 7pm and land at 8pm. Guests are asked to arrive 20 minutes before the flight where the boarding bar will be open, also serving Nyetimber English Sparkling Wine.
