Winemaker Notes

A deep golden colour with a persistent fine stream of bubbles. Rich, earthy red fruit aromas are followed by a complex toasted palate. The finish is long-lasting and beautifully balanced. The rich earthy character of this wine complements dishes including light game meats or canapés featuring mushrooms or lamb.

Blend: 62% Pinot Noir, 38% Pinot Meunier

Professional Ratings

    Red Delicious apple, wet chalk and oatmeal on the nose announce a sparkling wine with power and backbone. The palate confirms this with creamy but sinuous richness that smooths the slender body with its fine mousse. There is wonderful autolytic depth and, above all, creamy generosity and ample freshness.

    Based at the edge of the South Downs, north of the Channel at Brighton, the Roberts family grows this blend of pinot noir (68 percent) and meunier on chalk and clay soils. It’s a crisp, clean sparkler with floral touches of strawberries, almonds and Red Delicious apples. The fruit feels healthy, the wine completely satisfying.

    The 2014 Brut Blanc de Noirs Limited Release is showing well, offering up aromas of pear, cherries, papaya, buttered toast and honeycomb. Medium-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it has a pillowy mousse, succulent acids and a saline finish. This is one of the finest new releases from Ridgeview.

Ridgeview Wine Estate, British
Ridgeview Wine Estate Winery Video

The preeminent producer of English sparkling wine, Ridgeview Wine Estate was established in 1995 by Mike and Christine Roberts. The estate is located 40 miles south of London, at the base of the chalky South Downs, in the county of East Sussex.

From concept to inception, Ridgeview were determined to produce only sparkling wines, using traditional methods and varietals, with quality being the top priority.

For the past 24 years, Ridgeview has been the dominant influencer in the rise of English sparkling wine production. Ridgeview's belief from onset that England was capable of producing world-class sparkling wines has been unwavering in their strive to achieve just that.

Throughout their impressive history, Ridgeview has won multiple awards and trophies in both national and international competition. Ridgeview is the only non-Champagne ever to win the Decanter award for "Best Sparkling wine in the World", and the only English winery in history to win the Prestigious IWSC "International Winemaker of the Year" in 2018.

Today, the winery is run by second generation Tamara and Simon Roberts, Tamara as CEO, and Simon as winemaker. Following in their parent's footsteps, and honouring the original vision, Ridgeview represents the best of England.

Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.

The limestone soils of England’s southern end have proven ideal for the production of British sparkling wine. While it might seem too damp and cold for grape growing in England, recent warm summers and the onset of global warming signify great future growth for the British wine industry.
