Nyetimber

For over 20 years since it was founded, Nyetimber has had a single aim: to make the finest English sparkling wine, one to rival the very best in the world, including Champagne. A true pioneer, Nyetimber was the very first producer of English sparkling wine to craft wines made exclusively from the three celebrated varieties found in Champagne: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Each bottle of Nyetimber is crafted from one hundred percent estate-grown grapes, from vineyards deliberately selected for their south-facing aspect, with either sandy soils, or chalk soils similar in composition to those found in Champagne. Each vineyard parcel is treated uniquely, from picking, to gentle pressing, to vinification (separately) in stainless steel tanks. Such attention to detail allows for an extremely judicious selection when blending decisions are made in the spring following the harvest. All wines are crafted according to the strict rules of the traditional method, aged for extended periods of time on the lees and given sufficient post-disgorgement time before release.
