About this sparkling wine

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. Meet the producer Established in 1988, Nyetimber is a pioneering English sparkling wine estate. It was the first producer in England to craft wines exclusively from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier, and is now regarded as one of the country’s finest sparkling wine houses, producing wines of Grande Marque standard under the guidance of owner Eric Heerema and Head Winemaker Cherie Spriggs. Production Grapes are hand-picked parcel by parcel to ensure optimal maturity and gently pressed in Coquard presses. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel with malolactic conversion to soften acidity. The blend incorporates approximately 30% reserve wines and is aged on its lees for 36 months, followed by disgorgement and a final resting period before release. Tasting notes Pale gold in colour with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of toast, almond, honey, and baked apple are complemented by layered, creamy flavours. The palate is refined and elegant, with excellent intensity, balance, and length. Food match Perfect as an aperitif or paired with smoked salmon, oysters, or lightly cooked seafood. Grape Chardonnay 60%, Pinot Noir 30%, Meunier 10%
