Nyetimber, Classic Cuvée is a refined multi-vintage English sparkling wine from the South Downs in West Sussex. Made exclusively from estate-grown Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it is crafted as a traditional method sparkling wine with extended lees ageing, producing elegant aromas of honey, almond, and pastry, and a complex, balanced palate.

Meet the producer

Nyetimber, established as a vineyard in 1988, is a pioneering English sparkling wine estate with over 425 hectares under vine across Sussex, Hampshire, and Kent. Owned by Eric Heerema, with Head Winemaker Cherie Spriggs, the estate combines rigorous vineyard management, hand-harvesting, and gentle pressing to produce wines that reflect their site and the finest Champagne varieties.

Production

Grapes are hand-picked parcel by parcel, using gentle pressing to preserve aromatics. Base wines undergo careful vinification, followed by blending, bottling, and secondary fermentation in bottle. The wines age on their lees for multiple years to develop texture, complexity, and rich autolytic character.

Tasting notes

Classic Cuvée displays spicy, toasty aromas with hints of honey, almond, and pastry. The palate is elegant and complex, offering a harmonious balance of freshness, fine mousse, and a long, satisfying finish.
