Nyetimber is at the forefront of English sparkling wine production. With vines in nine different sites in the south of England, divided across Kent, Hampshire and Sussex, Nyetimber is establishing itself as a winemaker of real distinction - head winemaker Cherie Spriggs won Sparkling Winemaker of the Year at the International Wine Challenge 2018. Wine critic Jancis Robinson, writing in the Financial Times about Nyetimber’s 1086 rosés said they were, ‘better than any other English sparkling wine I have so far come across.’ Nyetimber was also part of an English sparkling vs champagne tasting, where they won the blanc de blancs round – 13 out of 14 tasters thought it was champagne.
