Nyetimber in the Press

Want to pop a cork after you’ve pop the question? Or just after some fizz for a romantic evening? We’ve rounded up the best pink to drink this February 14th.

Nyetimber 1086 Rosé Prestige Cuvee

Which grape varieties? Nyetimber’s premier pink wine does things properly; sticking to the established blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Flavours and aromas? One sip of this sparkling wine, and you’ll be propelled from the depths of February into the warm climes of summer. Think cherry, redcurrant and all manner of British summer fruits (with a touch of shortbread) to give you an elegantly English fluteful.
What does it pair with? Nyetimber’s 1086 Rosé Prestige Cuvee would pair delightfully with British game and poultry, we’d suggest jumping back across the Channel for a langoustine accompaniment.

Nyetimber | Personalised bottles
With some of our very own sparkling wines beginning to rival those of Champagne it’s no surprise to see them proliferating the tables of wedding breakfasts more and more. Nyetimber were pioneers among English sparkling wine producers to exclusively grow the same celebrated holy trinity of grape varieties as our Gallic cousins across the Channel: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Their recent in-house gift offering comprises personalised and beautifully packaged bottles of Nyetimber which make an ideal gift for the groom to share with his bride-to-be. You can even add a shiny metal plaque to the gift boxes, which can be engraved with up to 22 characters. Select from either Classic Cuvee MV, Rosé MV, Cuvee Chérie MV, Blanc de Blancs 2014 or Tillington Single Vineyard 2013 to gift a bottle to remember. From £45 per bottle with personalisation, nyetimber.com

“The concept behind this series of articles by Satoko Fujisaki is to help you visualize the appeal of wine through the senses, like the feeling of remembering a friend, family, or loved one. With support from illustrator Inigo Studio, the wine is visualized in a human form- helping us to be reminded that wine is a living thing.”
The article is set as an interview format between the interviewer and “1086 Prestige Cuvée 2009” as a human. He details his birthplace, West Sussex, as a sunny place cooled by the sea breeze. The meaning behind 1086 is explained as the year that the name Nyetimber was inscribed in the UK land register as an official estate. He also describes his style (aka the design of the bottle), as a representation of the blue sky in Sussex. The fertile soil of his hometown is shown in the colour of his trousers. The humanized “1086 Nyetimber Prestige Cuvée 2009” describes his favorite time to drink is at ‘parties or with my family and friends, as well as camping solo’, as he claims it allows you to concentrate on the delicate flavours of the mellow fruit.

Want to cut down on wine this month? Check out quality small-bottle options
If you’re not doing dry January but want to cut back on wine drinking this month (or for longer), then one simple idea is to buy smaller bottles. Couples sharing a half bottle of wine – that’s 37.5cl – are getting one largish glassful each; and one person opening it can drink it up over two or three days without wasting any that has gone stale.
The demand for half bottles has increased hugely since the first lockdown, according to Victoria Stephens-Clarke, who runs The Little Fine Wine Company. Now she sells over 140 wines in half bottles; the most popular include Nyetimber English sparkling.

Nyetimber 2013 Tillington Single Vineyard England
A blend of 76 percent Pinot Noir and 24 percent Chardonnay, this special bottling from Nyetimber—only made in good years—comes from West Sussex, a part of southeast England that boasts an extension of the chalk-rich soils of Champagne. Aromas of fresh-baked bread open, along with rich citrus (a touch of orange peel) and hints of red berries, hazelnuts and a salty ocean breeze. The palate is powerful and long, layered with clementine fruit, raspberry and rhubarb delivered with elegant, creamy bubbles.

Following a virtual media meet with Brad, lifestyle publication Dime has published a piece online on Nyetimber. Translated into English, the piece reads:
The world’s wine lovers are now taking notice of “English sparkling wine”, with the popularity growing to the point that even the big French Champagne houses have been looking into their own. One of the best English sparkling wines is made by ‘Nyetimber’, a West Sussex-based winemaker. The interview with Brad begins by outlining the history of Nyetimber, which stretches back over 900 years. He describes the development of Nyetimber as a sparkling wine brand, with 2006 being the beginning of 15 years of dedication to making the best sparkling wine in the world. Nyetimber produces sparkling wine from its own 11 vineyards, where three varieties are grown: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Nyetimber is also described as the first English sparkling winemaker to grow all three varieties in their own vineyards.
When it comes to the Japanese market, Brad describes the Japanese people as very experienced and knowledgeable consumers of sparkling wine, and Nyetimber sees Japan as an important market to reach out to.

In West Sussex, the winemaking couple are toasting a new extension filled with British crafts.
British wine has never had more sparkle, and Eric, the owner behind Nyetimber, the UK’s leading fizz label, has plenty to toast this Christmas. Nyetimber’s wines are served in Annabel’s, the Savoy and (maybe better to draw a veil over this client) at Downing Street functions. They are the bubbles of choice in British embassies across the world. Demand for Nyetimber’s 2022 rosé has been unprecedented. And at the estate, on the South Downs in West Sussex, Eric Heerema has completed a new extension filled with great British design.

J. Sheekey, in collaboration with Nyetimber, have created this creamy seasonal trifle, so good they had to share the recipe with us. A festive favourite sure to earn you brownie points with guests this Christmas…

Who doesn’t love a traditional English trifle? This Christmassy trifle features classic rhubarb, custard trifle with a luscious Nyetimber jelly and whipped Chantilly cream. We’d recommend serving it in Victorian glassware to really secure that wow factor.

The Editor In Chief, Mr Tai, is a fan of Nyetimber wines. The article reads, ‘However, as one of the largest importers and consumers of Champagne, the UK is now producing fine sparkling wine in the South of England. This is clearly a sign that the northern limit of viticulture has moved northwards, where the calcareous soils are ideal for growing sparkling wine grapes.

おうち時間を長い間過ごすようになり、家の中で快適に過ごすために高級なカトラリーやラグジュアリーブランドのクリスタル食器は大いに需要が高まりました。しかしそれらを使って楽しむ食材やワインが、気候変動によって、手に取りづらくなりつつあるというのは皮肉と言わざるをえません。
