Nyetimber in the Press

‘Launched in September to much fanfare, England’s priciest sparkling wine, comprising 46% chardonnay, 43% pinot noir and 11% pinot meunier, has a rich aroma and enticing toasty nuttiness. A trace of honey on the palate gives way to lingering acidity in the finish’.

Will Lyons

This is widely reckoned to be one of the top sparkling wines from the UK, and I love it. It’s a seriously good, balanced fizz with great flavours and sophistication. It’s as expensive as good champagne, but that’s its peer group.

Jamie Goode

‘the 2009 was silky, creamy and fine, with great depth, length and restraint, while the 2010 Rosé, with aromas and flavors of red fruit and herbs, was long, deep and harmonious. I thought they were the best English sparkling wines I had ever tasted!’

Eric Asimov

Both 1086s are clearly very good wines, & better than any other English sparkling wines I have so far come across.

Jancis Robinson

‘For the record, Nyetimber’s Classic Cuvee, its regular bottling, retails at well under £30 a bottle. The current version, nowadays a non-vintage blend rather than a vintage-dated wine, also in the image of a champagne house, is stonkingly good.’

Jancis Robinson

It’s an exciting time for English wine that we have come to a point that to it wouldn’t be a round-up of English wines with a classic Nyetimber cuvee. This vineyard has been flying the flag for English wine for more than 25 years. Every bit the Champagne, from grapes to name, is premium fizz is as exciting as its French counterpart in every way.

As she raised the coverted accolade, she made history: not only was it the first time a winemaker outside France’s Champagne region has won the industry Oscar, it was the first time it has been awarded to a woman.

West Sussex Nyetimber is where the great English wine boom all began in the mid-1980s, when the classic champagne trinity of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir vines were planted. Produced by Cherie Spriggs and Brad Greatrix , this market leader has first-class flavour.

Will Lyons

“Nyetimber Classic Cuvée Multi-Vintage. Nyetimber is probably the most famous of all of the English fizz producers and this one is a sophisticated wine that shows lovely balance with pear, ripe apple, citrus fruit and just a hint of sweetness.”
