Since 1998 Nyetimber have garnered a clutch of awards for their brilliant sparkling wines, often outgunning the best cuvees from the most famous French houses. Thirty five acres on Sussex`s South Downs are home to 100,000 vines, comprising the 3 major varieties of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Much of the wines` success is due to the siting of the vineyard, located as it is on the same chalky seam as that which is found on the Cote de Blancs in Champagne. There is no denying, however, that the precision of the winemaking regime is key to the extraordianry and consistant quality. Married couple Cherie Spriggs and Brad Greatrix first joined Nyetimber as winemakers in 2007, after trying a bottle gifted to them by Cherie’s parents. They instantly recognised the promise of this early wine, and since 2007, Cherie and Brad have been integral to building Nyetimber into a sparkling wine producer that rivals the best in the world.
