West Sussex sits on a sweep of greensand and chalk geologically continuous with the Champagne region across the Channel. The cool maritime climate gives a long, slow growing season — the foundation of every Nyetimber wine.
In the cellar
100% Chardonnay base, made in small quantities. Extended lees aging gives texture before a generous demi-sec dosage.
