Nyetimber in the Press

In Iconic Life, USA, Dena Roché writes, ‘the oldest and arguably the best, Nyetimber is the gold standard of English bubbles’.

“The wines of Nyetimber Winery in West Sussex rank amongst the very best in sparkling wines. This pure Chardonnay develops a delicate floral note in the nose, paired with aromas of white peach, Grannie Smith apples and a smidgen of mint. It is vivacious, crisp and very dynamic on the palate. The perfect sparkling wine for those looking for a lean, yet lush wine which exudes freshness from first drop to last.”

“Nyetimber have impressed connoisseurs the world over, creating top-notch sparkling wines using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes – all grown across Sussex, Hampshire and Kent. At this year’s International Wine Challenge, no fewer than three of its wines were awarded gold medals.”

“The nose is packed full of opulence, with aromas of apricot, tangerine skin, sweet pastry and toasted nut; characters that also follow through on the palate. While having a high residual sugar of 38g/l, the Nyetimber has got a wonderfully crisp cut-through to balance the sweetness and a soft, giving mouthfeel.”

“The Blanc de Blancs 2013, which was released this year, is very crisp and delicate, with notes of figs, vanilla and toasted bread, all wrapped up in a long finish.”

“Winemaker Cherie Spriggs has released the ninth edition of Nyetimber’s Blanc de Blancs… The 2013 is slightly reserved, showing a persistent tight beading with a lively citrus, pear and green apple core and medium toastiness. Full malolactic fermentation and five years on lees bring a creamy, buttery mouthfeel, finishing with crisp, white peach fruitiness.”
