Nyetimber created this demi-sec blanc de blancs, named after the winemaker Cherie Spriggs, to complement delicate desserts, but like many sweeter styles, it can also work well as a pairing for gently spiced Asian cuisine. It's a multi-vintage wine with 38g/L residual sugar, and it has spent five years ageing on its lees in bottle. It feels luxurious to drink, ripe and honeyed with red apple sweetness and notes of toffee. Achieves perfect harmony between richness and freshness, and would also work well as an aperitif, served with chicken liver paté on toast, or to accompany a cream tea. Mix-six price: £34.99
