History: The Nyetimber estate has a number of landmarks in its history. Its earliest beginnings saw it recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. Then there was the planting of the first vines, almost 900years later. For 30years Nyetimber has had a single aim: to make the finest English sparkling wine to rival the best in the world, including Champagne. A true pioneer, Nyetimber was the first to craft English sparkling wines exclusively from the three celebrated grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier & Chardonnay
Regional information: Nyetimber owns one hundred percent of our vineyards and all of our wines are produced from the 220 hectares we have planted at the best sites in West Sussex, Hampshire and Kent. Each Vineyard was deliberately selected to be south-facing with either sandy or chalk soils. All are located in sheltered positions affording them protection from the coastal winds. Prior to harvest, the grapes are tasted to ensure the best flavour development before picking and every grape is picked by hand at the optimal time.
Vinification: Each vineyard parcel is treated uniquely, from picking to gently pressing to vinification in separate tanks. Such attention to detail allows for a wonderful diversity of base wines 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.
