The Wedding Wines That Will Elevate Your Big Day

The Nyetimber story is built on decades of expertise, passion and a pioneering vision – not to mention an unwavering commitment to perfection and a single-minded pursuit to craft wines worthy of life's biggest moments. To ensure optimum results every time, Head Winemaker Cherie Spriggs assesses every handpicked parcel of grapes for quality, ripeness and character. The fruit is then gently pressed and vinified separately to provide a varied selection from which Cherie will craft the masterpieces of the Nyetimber range.

From proposal ideas to drinks receptions and dinner wines, Nyetimber creates wines for every moment – and countless dishes. Rather than just enjoying sparkling wine as an aperitif, Nyetimber wines are also purposely crafted to pair with many different foods, so they can be enjoyed throughout the wedding celebrations.

Considered the ‘perfect reception wine’, this is also available in magnums and jeroboams. It offers flavours of honey, almond, pastry and baked apples and is best paired with seafood such as scallops, and also smoked salmon and sushi.

In 2007, married couple Cherie Spriggs and Brad Greatrix became part of Nyetimber as winemakers, after sampling a bottle gifted to them by Cherie’s parents. Immediately, they spotted its potential and have since played a pivotal role in transforming Nyetimber into a sparkling wine producer that ranks among the best in the world.

“We have always been passionate about enjoying our sparkling wines with food, and they are becoming increasingly popular at weddings. Nyetimber Cuvee Chérie Demi-Sec in particular is a great choice to accompany the cake, or for dessert – as its balanced sweetness works perfectly with these courses.” – Cherie

Royal cake maker Fiona Cairns – who made the wedding cake for the now Prince and Princess of Wales – has been a Nyetimber brand partner for many years. She shares Nyetimber's passion and expertise in celebrations and is a great advocate of enjoying fantastic quality sparkling wine with her outstanding cakes. 

“I feel there are many similarities between my business and Nyetimber; most notably that our creations are enjoyed when celebrating special moments and marking milestones. Nyetimber’s dedication to producing exceptional quality wines compares nicely to our work in transforming ingredients into extraordinary creations. A baker’s key currency is time and for us, the shortcut has little appeal – a sentiment that is shared by Cherie.” – Fiona
