A pioneer in the English wine industry
As a pioneer in the English sparkling wine industry, Nyetimber has established itself as a world-renowned producer of exceptional quality wines. The estate, with roots tracing back to the Domesday Book of 1086, is situated in the South of England, with vineyards spanning across the counties of West Sussex, Hampshire, and Kent. This location is not by chance; the greensand and chalk soils, combined with a maritime climate, provide the perfect terroir for cultivating the classic grape varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
Nyetimber's commitment to quality is unwavering, using only 100% estate-grown grapes, which are meticulously hand-harvested from their south-facing slopes. This allows for the slow ripening of the fruit, ensuring optimum levels of acidity and complexity in the finished wine. Their dedication is evident in their flagship Classic Cuvée Multi-Vintage, a wine lauded for its pale gold colour, fine bubbles, and complex aromas of toasty spice, honey, almond, and baked apple. The palate is a delightful balance of intensity and delicacy, making it a truly elegant sparkling wine.
Beyond their iconic Classic Cuvée, Nyetimber offers a superb range of wines. The Blanc de Blancs, crafted exclusively from Chardonnay, is known for its elegance and delicate complexity. For those who favour a touch of red fruit, the Rosé Multi-Vintage presents a stunning sunset pink hue with notes of redcurrant, raspberry, and brioche. Each wine is produced using the traditional method, with extended ageing on the lees to develop the characteristic brioche and biscuity notes that have made Nyetimber a rival to the very best Champagnes in the world.
