English wine producer Nyetimber has announced the release of a single vineyard sparkling wine.

Tillington Single Vineyard 2009 will be available from September 2013 and will be exclusively distributed through Liberty Wines.

Nyetimber claims this is England's first single vineyard sparkling wine and the producer is to release 2,500 bottles of the 2,900 created.

The inspiration for the wine followed the discovery of an "extraordinary parcel of Pinot Noir" in 2009 by Nyetimber's head winemaker Cherie Spriggs.

Spriggs said: "We're incredibly proud of the Tillington 2009, which we see as a pure and true reflection of a single expression of a single terroir. The first time I tasted the grapes, I knew we would create a very special wine."

David Gleave MW, managing director of Liberty Wines, added: "The exclusive release of Tillington 2009 underlines Nyetimber's dedication to the highest attention to detail and expression of flavour."

Tillington 2009 will be launched to the trade at the Liberty Wines portfolio tasting on Tuesday 10 September 2013 and carries an rrp of £75 per bottle.
