Bottles of Ridgeview and Nyetimber, English sparkling wines produced in Sussex

Nyetimber is an English sparkling wine producer with 11 vineyards across 425 hectares in West Sussex, Kent and Hampshire. Nyetimber was the first producer in England to grow pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier exclusively for sparkling wine. Each bottle undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, is aged for extended periods, and made using the traditional method with only grapes from its own vineyards[1].

In 2025 Nyetimber won Champion Sparkling Wine and Sparkling Winemaker of the Year at the International Wine Challenge.[2]
