Nyetimber Rosé Brut

Origin

Nyetimber only uses grapes from its own vineyards, all south-facing with greensand and chalk soils. They own nine vineyards in Sussex, Hampshire and Kent, but only seven are currently in production. Harvest was entirely manual, with each plot picked on a parcel by parcel basis to ensure optimal maturity.

Producer

The Nyetimber estate is based in the heart of West Sussex, on what is regarded as a perfect site for producing sparkling wine. Having been first recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book, the estate has a lengthy history and was first established as a vineyard in 1988, planting just over 14 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier vines. The ever-increasing demand for Nyetimber’s sparkling wines led to considerable vineyard expansion from 2006 onwards. Today, Nyetimber comprises 11 carefully selected vineyards across Sussex, Hampshire and Kent, with 327 hectares under vine.
