Description
The Nyetimber Classic Cuvée Multi Vintage 75 CL is a remarkable sparkling white wine crafted exclusively from grapes cultivated in the esteemed vineyards of Nyetimber. Nestled in the picturesque southern regions of England, particularly in West Sussex, this distinguished cuvée embodies the essence of traditional English winemaking, utilizing only the finest grapes from their own south-facing estates.
This non-vintage wine is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, featuring:
- Varietals: A harmonious blend of 60% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 10% Meunier.
- Vinification: Each vineyard parcel is processed separately using shallow Coquard presses, followed by vinification in stainless steel, and a complex aging process involving malolactic fermentation and extended time on lees.
- Aging: The wine is aged for a minimum of 36 months before disgorgement and dosage, ensuring depth of flavor and elegance.
Upon tasting, expect an exquisite profile that unfolds into rich layers of honeyed brioche, toasted almond, and baked apple, seamlessly balanced with a bright citrus lift. This elegantly dry sparkling wine is refined with delicate, gliding bubbles that enhance each sip. Its finish is long and clean, leaving a refreshing crispness and a soft, creamy warmth that lingers elegantly on the palate.
Ideal for a variety of occasions, the Nyetimber Classic Cuvée pairs beautifully with:
- Delicately smoked salmon roe blinis topped with crème fraîche and dill.
- Elegant sparkling wine cocktails infused with elderflower cordial and garnished with edible flowers.
- A vibrant citrus and herb salad, enhanced with light champagne vinaigrette.
- Rich goat cheese tartlets, perfectly balanced with honey and crushed pistachios.
- Refined aperitifs, mixing with fresh cucumber juice and mint leaves for a refreshing summer twist.
For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled between 7-9°C in tall flute glasses to showcase its fine bubbles and crisp profile. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a leisurely meal, the Nyetimber Classic Cuvée Multi Vintage promises a sophisticated experience to elevate any gathering.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Sparkling White maintain a temperature between 10°C and 13°C (50-55°F) which best preserves quality without dulling flavors. Some sources suggest an even cooler range around 40°F to 50°F (4-10°C) can also be suitable but 10-13°C is widely accepted for long-term stability.
Store bottles on their side or at a slight angle to keep the cork moist and prevent drying out which protects the airtight seal. Avoid storing bottles upright for extended periods.
Keep the bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight and UV exposure to prevent light strike that can spoil the wine's taste.
Maintain relative humidity between 50% and 85% to keep the cork from drying without encouraging mold growth.
Minimize vibrations and movement by storing the bottles in a still environment such as a wine cellar or specialized wine fridge as vibrations can negatively affect the wine's characteristics.
For opened bottles reseal immediately with a sparkling wine stopper and store in the refrigerator at around 4-7°C (39-45°F) to preserve carbonation and freshness as long as possible ideally consuming within 1-3 days. Avoid standard long-term fridge storage for unopened bottles due to vibrations and temperature fluctuations.
In summary the best storage for Sparkling White is a stable cool (10-13°C) humid (50-85%) and dark environment with bottles stored on their side to maintain cork integrity and minimal vibrations. Opened bottles require tighter sealing and colder refrigeration.
