Region
If you have never tried an English wine before – well now is your opportunity. The vineyards of England are generally located in the warmer southern counties where the milder influences of the gulf stream have an important effect, as our northern hemisphere vineyards need a longer cooler growing season than in Europe to produce top quality grapes. More than 500 vineyards are in production across the UK and bottled annual sales has reached 3 million bottles, with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Bacchus the most planted varieties.
Producer
Founded in 1995, they are now led by the second generation of the Roberts Family producing globally acclaimed, award-winning range of delicately crafted English Sparkling Wines. Based within the South Downs National Park in Ditchling, Sussex, Ridgeview sources fruit from original estate vines, and quality partner vineyards across Southern England; typically varied soils such as chalk, clay, gravel and sandstone soils. They were the first business in the UK to hold B Corp for traditional method English Sparkling Wine. Being a certified B Corporation means they are meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, committed to making business a force for good.
Tasting Notes
A pale-gold pioneer of the fresh, fruit-forward English style Sparkling with a fine mousse and bright elegant finish. Aromas dance between creamy citrus zest and white peach, gently balanced by fresh honey. On the palate, crisp apple and brioche from 18 months on lees, which are balanced by characteristic freshness and finesse. Elegant now but will age gracefully.
Food
Our signature celebration wine and a perfect partner to smoked salmon, shellfish, or lemony goat’s cheese canapés, mackerel ceviche - herb & citrus salad, white crab linguine.
