English sparkling wine producer Nyetimber celebrates team GB’s Olympic victories

The Nyetimber team said: “As the proud official sparkling wine of Team GB, we’ve cherished every moment of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.  

“It’s been an incredible journey filled with triumphs and unforgettable memories.” 

The company said that the closing ceremony and the celebrations that follow are the perfect time to launch Nyetimber’s limited edition team GB bottles. 

Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage has been name a “tribute” to team GB at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The company’s spokesperson added: “Explore our limited edition team GB bottle, and raise a glass to the extraordinary achievements of our athletes and the unforgettable experiences we’ve all shared.”

Three major milestones 

The winery owner said that Nyetimber estate counts three major milestones in its history. Its earliest beginnings saw it named in the Domesday Book in 1086, almost 1,000 years ago, when the peaceful valley of Nitimbreha made its first appearance in recorded history. 

The second milestone was the planting of the first vines, almost 902 years later, in 1988, when the holy trinity of sparkling wine grapes, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, found a new home in the lee of the South Downs. 

And thirdly, Eric Heerema became the owner and custodian of Nyetimber in 2006, believing that the estate, with its ideal soil and location, had yet to achieve its full potential. 

Eric recruited head winemaker Cherie Spriggs and winemaker Brad Greatrix, who both shared his vision of crafting the finest English sparkling wines.  

Since then, Nyetimber wines have gone on to achieve global acclaim, winning international awards and blind-tasting competitions, as well as being recognised by some of the world’s most celebrated wine experts, the owner said.
