Ridgeview Wine Estate
Ridgeview Wine Estate is an esteemed English sparkling wine producer located in the South Downs region of Sussex, England. Established in 1994 by the Roberts family, Ridgeview has gained a reputation for producing exceptional sparkling wines that rival some of the best in the world.
The estate's vineyards are situated on the chalky slopes of the South Downs, which provide ideal growing conditions for classic Champagne grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The Roberts family is dedicated to sustainable viticulture practices and meticulous vineyard management to ensure the highest quality grapes.
Ridgeview's winemaking philosophy revolves around traditional Champagne methods combined with state-of-the-art winemaking techniques. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed to extract the finest juice. The primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the wines go through a secondary fermentation in the bottle, following the traditional method. This process creates the signature fine bubbles and complex flavors that are characteristic of premium sparkling wines.
Ridgeview is known for its elegant and refined sparkling wines. Their wines exhibit a beautiful balance of fruitiness, acidity, and texture, with flavors of citrus, orchard fruits, and toasty notes. They demonstrate a remarkable depth and complexity, and many of their wines have the ability to age gracefully.
