With a focus on detail and an artisanal approach to winemaking, Nyetimber exclusively sources 100% estate-owned and grown grapes. These grapes are meticulously hand-picked from Nyetimber’s 11 vineyards spread across West Sussex, Hampshire, and Kent. Employing the traditional method, Nyetimber then crafts its wines, allowing them to mature for extended periods. This patient ageing process enhances complexity and develops the distinctive flavours for which Nyetimber’s exquisite wines are renowned.
The Design
Drawing inspiration from motion, the design features lines reminiscent of athletic tracks and courts. The ribbons’ fluid shapes symbolise various aspects of athleticism, including travel, water sports, and the journey undertaken by Team GB to reach the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Hand-illustrated designs of numerous Olympic sports adorn these ribbons, rendered in the official colour palette of the British Union Jack, adding a vibrant and dynamic touch to the overall aesthetic.
The Cuvee
This Cuvee is a timeless blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, and is a harmonious equilibrium between sophistication and depth. After undergoing extensive ageing in the cellars, typically more than three years, this sparking develops distinctive toasty and spicy aromas. On the palate, notes of honey, almond, pastry, and baked apples lend it a touch of indulgence.
Food pairing suggestion: Fresh and smoked salmon rillettes.
