Nyetimber, which is based in West Sussex and produces around 400,000 bottles of sparkling wine a year, said that the quality and volume of this year’s grape harvest is not up to its usual standard.
The winemaker said that it had taken the “exceedingly difficult” decision to skip this year’s harvest as part of its commitment “to put quality above all else”.
This summer’s wet and cold summer meant that grapes did not mature as they should. Yields across many British vineyards are expected to be down by around 25 per cent and 75 per cent this year.
