- Nyetimber's signature wine is a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, perfect in its balance of elegance and intensity. The blend includes wines from all our vineyards and several vintages. Lovely pale gold with gentle, fine bubbles. Toasty, spicy and complex aromas show wonderful development after extended ageing in Nyetimber's cellar. The palate supports these complex aromas with honey, almond, pastry and baked apple flavours. It is very fine and elegant, with a great combination of intensity, delicacy and length.

Each vineyard parcel was processed separately. The grapes were pressed in shallow Coquard presses (which come from Champagne) and vinified in stainless steel. All wines underwent malolactic fermentation. These were blended with 30% reserve wines, which were, on average, four years old. Once in the bottle, the wine was aged on lees for 36 months before disgorgement and dosage, following the traditional method. After disgorgement, it was aged for 6 months before release.

Winery | Nyetimber is one of England`s leading sparkling wine producers. The estate owns 100% of its vineyards, and all of its wines are produced from grapes planted on 152 hectares of some of the best sites in West Sussex and Hampshire. Nyetimber’s vineyards are devoted exclusively to the three Champagne grape varieties. Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. Located in southern England, the vineyards were selected to be south-facing with either sandy or chalk soils similar to Champagne's. Nyetimber only uses grapes from its own vineyards, all south-facing with greensand and chalk soils. They own nine vineyards in Sussex, Hampshire and Kent, but only seven are currently in production. Harvest was entirely manual, with each plot picked on a parcel by parcel basis to ensure optimal maturity. |
