The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Nyetimber Classic Cuvée Multi-Vintage NV is an elegant English sparkling wine crafted exclusively from estate-grown Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier. Grapes are sourced from south-facing vineyards planted on chalk and greensand soils across Nyetimber’s holdings in Sussex, Hampshire, and Kent. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo gentle pressing in shallow Coquard presses, stainless steel vinification, malolactic fermentation, and ageing on lees for 36 months. The wine is then disgorged with a precise dosage, resulting in a complex, refined sparkling wine with vibrant fruit, delicate autolytic notes, and a long, elegant finish.
